Carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product of aerobic respiration: oxygen + glucose ----> carbon dioxide + water + ATP(energy). This CO2 must be excreted somehow, so the blood takes it from the cytoplasm in our respiring cells, and transports it to our lungs, when we subsequently exhale it out of our bodies.
