Question

And 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?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The chemical equation for cellular respiration in plants shows the cycling of matter as glucose (C6H12O6) is broken down into carbon dioxide (6CO2) and water (6H2O), releasing energy in the form of ATP (energy currency of the cell). The number of carbon atoms in glucose is equal to the number in carbon dioxide produced, illustrating the cycling of carbon atoms in nature.
