Answer 2

Is respiration referring to cellular respiration?

Answer 3

Yup

Answer 4

Well since fossilization cannot occur within a human, (at least while they're alive) that is out. Photosynthesis does not occur within humans since we are not plants. So I would have to go with A. I could be wrong though. >.<

Answer 5

but wouldn't fossilization happen in a car?

Answer 6

"Fossils (from Classical Latin fossilis, literally "obtained by digging[1]") are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the remote past. The totality of fossils, both discovered and undiscovered, and their placement in fossiliferous (fossil-containing) rock formations and sedimentary layers (strata) is known as the fossil record."
