Question

what process involves gas exchange between the atmosphere and the cells of the body and the resulting chemical reactions that provide the cells with energy to function?

multiple choice

metabolism

respiration

oxidation

breathing

Explanation:

Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions in an organism. Oxidation is a chemical reaction involving the loss of electrons. Breathing is the physical act of inhaling and exhaling. Respiration involves gas exchange (taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide) between the atmosphere and body cells and the subsequent chemical reactions (cellular respiration) that produce energy (ATP) for cell function.

Answer:

Respiration
