6. The process of cellular respiration releases energy from carbohydrates to power cellular processes. This released energy is used to make ATP, the chemical cells use for short-term
energy transfer. The reaction of one molecule of carbohydrate through cellular respiration
releases enough energy to form 38 molecules of ATP.
1. How does this energy change affect the mass of the materials from which the
carbohydrate is made?
2. How do the elements in the reactants create the products of cellular respiration? (Don't
worry about the numbers of each element. Explain the transfer of matter.)
