The genetic code is based upon reading 3 bases at a time

there are 4 nucleotides bases in DNA and 20 amino acids .
In order to incorporate all the amino acids we consider 3 bases in genetic code
4 x 4 x 4 = 64

if we would take 2 bases -
4x4 = 16 that would leave out 4 amino acids without a code .

Ganezh [65]
External respiration (correct answer) involves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the environment.

The exchange of wastes through the skin is just called excretion by sweating. 

There is no exchange of nutrients that occur in the lungs but rather absorption of nutrients is the function of the gastrointestinal tract.

The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the cell is called cellular respiration and involves carrying oxygen from the blood to the cell then the cell uses it as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. The metabolic wastes of the cell, primarily carbon dioxide, goes now to the bloodstream to be exchanged for oxygen in the lungs.
