In which organism(s) does respiration occur?
A
plants
B
animals
C
fungus
D
all of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Respiration is a metabolic process that occurs in all organisms. It is a biochemical process that occurs within the cells of organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of animals, plants, and fungi, and also in algae and other protists. It is often called aerobic respiration because the process requires oxygen (the root aer comes from the Greek word for “air”).

Detailed explanation-3: -Does cellular respiration occur in all organism types yes. Cellular respiration is an energy-generating process essential for the functioning and survival of all organisms (both autotrophs and heterotrophs). It occurs within the mitochondria of plants and animals and the cell membranes of bacteria.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbon dioxide and water are created as byproducts. The overall equation for aerobic cellular respiration is: In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are released as byproducts.

Detailed explanation-5: -Through Plasma Membrane. In unicellular animals, such as amoeba, exchange of gases takes place through cell surface. Through Body Wall or Skin. Tapeworms, earthworms, and leeches use their skin for the exchange of gases. Through Tracheal System. Through Gills. Through lungs.
