In one or two sentences, explain how the chemical equation for cellular respiration shows that plants cycle matter. Include the numbers of molecules and atoms involved to support your explanation.

Question

I'd appreciate the help :))

Answer 1

The chemical equation for cellular respiration shows that plants cycle matter by taking in 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) and converting them into 1 molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) and 6 molecules of oxygen (O2), and then using the glucose and oxygen to produce 6 molecules of carbon dioxide and water (H2O) through the process of respiration.
