Try not breathing for a while, and you'd know!

All living creatures respire - they take in what they need and expel waste products.

You (as a mammal) take in air because you need oxygen to keep your metabolism going. You exhale carbon dioxide, which your body produces but can't use, and other waste products (for example, if you eat garlic, the compounds which give it that garlicky smell get excreted through your lungs).

Plants take in carbon dioxide and expel oxygen.
