Your respiratory system includes your lungs and other organs that help you breath. But don’t confuse cellular respiration with breathing. Cellular respiration is the process of glucose being converted into energy that cells can use. In aerobic cellular respiration, this process requires oxygen. The products of aerobic respiration are water, an energy-rich molecule called ATP and carbon dioxide. So there is one similarity between breathing and aerobic respiration: in both, oxygen comes in and carbon dioxide is released.

According to the passage, how are breathing and aerobic respiration similar?

A
They both produce energy.

B
In both, energy comes in and water is released.

C
The lungs are responsible for both.

D
In both, oxygen enters and carbon dioxide is released.
