The true statement is: Molecules are added and removed during chemical reactions.

In a chemical reaction, bonds between atoms in molecules are broken, and new bonds are formed, resulting in the formation of new molecules. However, the individual atoms themselves are not created or destroyed in the process; they are rearranged to form different molecules.
