Question

based on what you have learned about cellular respiration, select the true statements. an organisms cells rearrange the atoms of energy - rich molecules from food. through certain chemical reactions, cells release energy that can be used for growth. the chemical bonds between atoms do not change during cellular respiration. atoms are neither created nor destroyed during cellular respiration.

Explanation:

• Cellular respiration involves the rearrangement of atoms in energy - rich molecules (e.g., glucose) from food.
• Chemical reactions in cellular respiration (like glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain) release energy (in the form of ATP) that can be used for growth, repair, and other cellular processes.
• In chemical reactions (which cellular respiration is), chemical bonds are broken and new ones are formed. So, the statement "The chemical bonds between atoms do not change during cellular respiration" is false.
• According to the law of conservation of mass, atoms are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction (including cellular respiration).

Answer:

• An organism's cells rearrange the atoms of energy - rich molecules from food.
• Through certain chemical reactions, cells release energy that can be used for growth.
• Atoms are neither created nor destroyed during cellular respiration.
