In one or two sentences, explain how chemical equation for cellular respiration shows that plants cycle matter. Include the numbers of molecules and atoms involved to support your explanation
The chemical equation for cellular respiration, C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O, demonstrates the cyclic nature of matter in plants as it shows that one glucose molecule (C6H12O6) and six oxygen molecules (O2) are used to produce six carbon dioxide molecules (CO2) and six water molecules (H2O), maintaining balance in the atoms involved.
