The Law of Conservation of Mass during Cellular Respiration can be seen by the amount of carbon dioxide atoms that were released during respiration are equal to the atoms of these materials contained in the converted oxygen and carbon. Cellular Respiration is the direct opposite of Photosynthesis and is given by the chemical equation
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
Noticed that the equation is balanced on both sides, and in this process cellular respiration has conserved the mass of the each substance.
