Suppose cellular respiration occurs inside an insulated, sealed container. How does the container's weight change during the reaction?decreasesdoes not increase or decreaseincreases, then decreasesincreases

As cellular respiration is a process that involves chemical reactions transforming oxygen, nutrients, and other molecules into ATP and waste products, if it happened in an insulated environment, the mass (or weight) wouldn't change, because it just converts a molecule into another and these molecules don't leave the space.
