Respiration involves the
Correct answer: B. Biochemical process
- A. Chemical process
- B. Biochemical process
- C. Mechanical process
- D. Both B and C
Explanation
Respiration is a biochemical process, in which the cells of an organism obtain energy by reacting oxygen with glucose, resulting in the release of carbon dioxide, water, and ATP. Breathing is a physical process and involves only the exchange of gases. It does not involve the formation of any new product. Hence, it is not a chemical process.

About Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration releases energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain, producing ATP. The pathway differs in oxygen availability: aerobic respiration uses oxygen and yields more ATP, while anaerobic respiration produces much less ATP and forms lactic acid in muscles or ethanol and carbon dioxide in yeast.
