If cellular respiration occurs in an insulated, sealed container anywhere in the universe, including on the moon, the container's weight change during the reaction will stay the same. Thus, the correct option would be A.

This is because every reaction, irrespective of where they are carried out, will always obey the law of conservation of mass. The law states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be converted from one form to another during a process or a reaction.

In an isolated system in which there is no exchange of materials and energy between the system and the surrounding, the mass will always remain the same irrespective of the reactions taking place in the system.

Cellular respiration occurring in an insulated, sealed container represents an isolated system. Thus, the law of conservation of mass would be obeyed and there would be no in the weight of the container.
