The statement that best describes respiration in spiral-shaped bacteria is:
Spiral-shaped bacteria are generally aerobic, but a subset of the group uses anaerobic respiration.
This is because many spiral-shaped bacteria, such as those in the genus Spirillum, are known to be aerobic, but there are other spiral-shaped bacteria, like some species of Treponema, that can utilize anaerobic processes.
