What would be an example of conservation of mass?

• The amount of protons and electrons are the same in all elements
• The amount of energy that is used in photosynthesis is equal to the amount of mass. 
• The amount of reactants in cellular respiration is equal to the amount of products. 
• The amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide is the same in both cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
