Which claim can be supported using the equation for cellular respiration?
A.
The products have less matter than the reactants.
B.
Matter is created as an organism processes food.
C.
The reactants have more energy than the products.
D.
Matter is conserved as it moves through an organism.
C. The reactants have more energy than the products.
The equation for cellular respiration shows that glucose and oxygen are the reactants, which have more potential energy than the products, carbon dioxide and water. This supports the claim that the reactants have more energy than the products.
