Question

During exercise, muscle cells break down glucose
(C6H12O6) to provide energy. This chemical reaction is
represented by the following chemical equation.

C6H12O6 + 602⇒ 6CO2 + 6H₂O + energy
glucose oxygen  carbon dioxide water
How does this equation show the conservation of
mass?
Energy is created by breaking apart molecules.
The mass on each side of the equation is the same.
Mass is conserved when it is converted to heat.
Glucose is broken down into smaller molecules.
