What do you breathe in and out?

You breathe in air, which is comprised mostly of nitrogen (though the oxygen is what you're after).The oxygen is absorbed into the blood, and stored in red blood cells, which contain hemoglobin.The oxygen in your lungs is thus replaced mainly by carbon dioxide, which is a metabolic waste product, and this is what you breathe out.


When trees die do they release stored up carbon dioxide?

Well, trees don't really store carbon dioxide; they use the carbon dioxide directly to produce sugars during the Calvin cycle. When decomposers eat up those sugars, they release the carbon in the sugars in the form of carbon dioxide.
