    C)  biological assimilation

    D)  gaseous exchange

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Respiration is an oxidative process, which takes place in all types of living cells. The oxygen taken during the process facilitates    oxidative catabolism of injested nutrients by the cells of organisms resulting in energy (ATP) production,\[C{{O}_{2}}\]metabolic water and heat.
