Biology Quiz on Respiration Basics

The document discusses cellular respiration and the respiratory system. It contains multiple choice questions about topics like aerobic vs anaerobic respiration, the role of oxygen, cellular respiration, and the organs and processes involved in respiration in humans and other organisms. Some key points covered include: - Cellular respiration takes place in cells and involves the breakdown of glucose to produce energy. - Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to break down glucose completely into carbon dioxide, water, and energy. Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen. - The respiratory system in humans includes the lungs, trachea, and other organs that facilitate gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. - Other organisms like fish respire using gills to extract oxygen from water
