What is the use of carbon dioxide in the sea?
Any use; body of waters absorb carbon dioxide. Today the absorbed carbon dioxide exeeded the normal limits and the pH of seas/oceans become more and more acidic.

more carbon dioxide will diffuse out of the blood
Why does the body give out more carbon dioxide than it has inhaled?
A living organism produces carbon dioxide from the sugars in food and the oxygen inhales with the air it breathes. This process creates the enery for body heat. processes and mvement. The carbon dioxide is taken to the lungs by the blood and exhaled.

When you exhale, you actually release oxygen, nitrogen and other gasses. But most of all you release more carbon dioxide.

It isn't used by your body but is important in keeping your lungs inflated. But all-in-all, you exhale more carbon dioxide than you inhale.
How does exercise affect the amount of carbon released from the lungs?
Your body is an engine that uses fuel (food) to produce energy for you to do exercise. The fuel contains carbon from the carbohydrates you eat, and the body uses oxygen from the air to do a chemical reaction that combines the carbon with the oxygen to produce energy plus carbon dioxide. If you do exercise, you use more fuel and more oxygen, and you produce more carbon dioxide. The body has sensors that detect excess carbon dioxide in the blood, and they make you breathe faster to get rid of it.
Why is carbon dioxide from your body?
