Best Answer

During every breath, people inhale the surrounding air, which includes nitrogen, oxygen, some carbon dioxide and a trace smattering of other inert gases. In populated areas, there may also be soot, dust, various industrial chemicals that have been vaporized, viruses, bacteria, fungal spores and a wide variety of odiferous chemicals.

Humans respire so they can break down glucose (that they obtain from food) to a more usable form of energy. Respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells.
