Aerobic respiration is the one I believe is correct. When humans respirate we take in Oxygen produced by plants and in return we breath out carbon dioxide which the plants take in and convert to oxygen during photosynthesis.

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

The classical or typical cellular respiration that animals perform is called aerobic respiration. It begins in the cell cytoplasm, then continues in the mitochondria, where glucose is broken down and ATP is generated with carbon dioxide and water molecules.

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → energy(ATP) + 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

Thus, carbon dioxide is an end product of aerobic respiration performed by humans.
