Winston Bentley · Answer 2

Cellular respiration is when the cells in your body make use of ATP and produce by-products.

The correct answer is:

D. The respiratory system removes carbon dioxide from body cells performing cellular respiration.

It isn't C because the lungs don't transport oxygen to cells. It transports oxygenated blood back to the heart where it is pumped through the body.
