Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following correctly describe respiration?
A
Physical action of the moving of the lungs cavity
B
Physical process of taking in air and removing it from the body
C
Chemcially breakdown of food to provide energy for the body cells
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration is the process by which the energy in food is converted into energy that can be used by the body’s cells. The energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP. The process can be summarized as: glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP. The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of breakdown of food in the cell with the release of energy is called cellular respiration. Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of all organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose and other food molecules are broken down by controlled stepwise oxidation to provide chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADH.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cellular respiration releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen.
