Carbon dioxide and oxygen are both gases under ordinary conditions. Carbon dioxide molecules consist of a single atom of carbon and two of oxygen.

As a simplification, breathing animals inhale oxygen, use it to produce energy from carbon compounds that they eat and exhale carbon dioxide as a waste product.

Is there more carbon dioxide in air or your breath?

After you breathe air IN, your body uses some (but not all) of the oxygen in it. A lot of that oxygen that your body uses get converted to carbon dioxide, and it's added to the air that you breathe out. So your exhaled air has a greater concentration of carbon dioxide than fresh air has.


Where does blood give up carbon dioxide and obtain oxgyen?

Blood gives up carbon dioxide and obtains oxygen in the capillaries within the lungs during the process of gas exchange. In the lungs, carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled, while oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the blood to be carried to the body's tissues.
