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.
