Why is that respirtion so important to us?
Craig Savage
Respiration is the primary biochemical pathway to release energy from our fuel molecules. It basically allows you to get the energy you need to run your systems.

Several of the exercises in this lesson seem to be incorrectly formatted. The right answer comes up "wrong". One exercise appears to have no correct answer.
