A mining crew extracted two different types of minerals from underground. Then, they transferred the same amount of energy into both minerals. Why did mineral A change while mineral B stayed the same? Explain what happened to the molecules of both minerals

The answer is water molecules are split.cellular respiration and photosynthesis are complement  reactions to each other. these are reverse reactions. in cellular respiration glucose and oxygen yield water and carbon dioxide. so, when respiration begins,  glucose molecules are split. in the opposite reaction - in photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water yield glucose and oxygen. thus,  when respiration begins, water molecules are split.
