In aerobic cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in a series of reactions to produce carbon dioxide and water These reactions provide the energy necessary for the production of energy in the form of 36 ATP molecules.

The law of conservation of mass is correctly demonstrated in which statement about the process of cellular respiration?

A) The mass of the glucose is conserved in the mass of the ATP in the products.

B) The total mass of oxygen is conserved in the total mass of carbon dioxide produced.

C) The mass of glucose is equal to the total mass of the water molecules.

D) The total mass of glucose and oxygen is equal to the total mass of carbon dioxide and water.

The correct option is A.
During cellular respiration, sugar is broken down to carbon dioxide and water with the production of energy, which is use to drive the biochemical activities of the cell. The energy produce is always in the form of ATP. Complete oxidation of one molecule of glucose usually produce 38 ATP, this shows that, the mass of glucose is conserved in the cellular respiration reactions.
