Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Respiration
A
absorbs CO2
B
releases CO2
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of respiration produces energy for organisms by combining glucose with oxygen from the air. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are changed into energy and carbon dioxide. Therefore, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere during the process of cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbon dioxide is released during breathing when oxygen is taken in. Carbon dioxide gas turns lime-water milky. The fact that carbon dioxide is produced during respiration can be shown by demonstrating the effect of inhaled air and exhaled air on lime-water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The stage of cellular respiration in which carbon dioxide release takes place is the citric acid cycle. Aerobic cellular respiration has three steps, glycolysis, the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anaerobic respiration takes place in the absence or lack of oxygen so oxygen isn’t taken in. The product of anaerobic respiration is lactic acid an energy. Carbon dioxide is not given out.
