Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The digestive system works with the respiratory system to make cellular respiration possible.
A
true
B
false
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which organ systems are involved in cellular respiration? The glucose needed for cellular respiration comes from the digestive system via the cardiovascular system. The oxygen needed for cellular respiration comes from the respiratory system also via the cardiovascular system.

Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: The respiratory system is primarily used to transport air, while the digestive system is used to transport fluids (such as water) and solids (such as food particulates). The respiratory and the digestive systems share the region of the mouth and upper throat, where air, fluids, and solids can be mixed.

Detailed explanation-3: -When cellular respiration is aerobic, it uses oxygen and releases carbon dioxide as a waste product. Respiration by the respiratory system supplies the oxygen needed by cells for aerobic cellular respiration and removes the carbon dioxide produced by cells during cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -The respiratory system brings oxygen into the lungs when you breathe. The digestive system breaks food down into nutrients such as glucose. Now the circulatory system enters the picture. It transports glucose and other nutrients from the digestive system to the cells.
