Question

suppose cellular respiration occurs inside an insulated, sealed container. how does the containers weight change during the reaction? (1 point)
fluctuates
increases
stays the same
decreases

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, in a closed system (the insulated, sealed container), the total mass of reactants (glucose and oxygen for cellular respiration) is equal to the total mass of products (carbon dioxide, water, and energy). Since mass is conserved and weight is related to mass (weight = mass × gravitational acceleration, and gravitational acceleration is constant here), the container's weight remains the same.

Answer:

Stays the same
