Question

question 6 of 10
which of the following best describes where cellular respiration occurs?

a. in the intestines

b. in every body cell

c. in muscle cells

d. in the lungs

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose to produce energy (ATP). All body cells (e.g., muscle, nerve, skin cells) need energy to function, so cellular respiration occurs in every body cell. The intestines are for digestion, and the lungs are for gas exchange (not cellular respiration itself). Muscle cells do respire, but not exclusively—all cells do.

Answer:

B. In every body cell
