The human body uses oxygen in cellular respiration to create energy by oxidizing carbohydrates (mostly sugars), fats, or protein. This process produces carbon dioxide, water, and other chemical by-products. The carbon dioxide is brought through the bloodstream to the lungs, where it is exchanged for more oxygen. The lungs exhale the carbon dioxide along with some water vapor and substantial remaining oxygen.

Why do you inhale and exhale?
because your body extracts the oxygen from the air in your lungs and as a result the ratio of carbon dioxide to oxygen in increased. Edit: During aerobic respiration, your body produces carbon dioxide from the breakdown of glucose to create ATP. Carbon dioxide is also produced during fermentation.
What do plants inhale and exhale during photosynthesis?
plants inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen
When you exhale you breathe this plus carbon dioxide?
Exhaled breath contains:NitrogenArgonOxygenTraces of other atmospheric gasesWater vapourCarbon dioxideOdorous organicsPheromonesParticulates
Where do trees get carbon dioxide?
Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air through photosynthesis. They remove and store the carbon and release the oxygen back into the atmosphere. A forest of trees is thus called a carbon sink.
What is sent out of the body every time you exhale?
When you exhale, you actually release oxygen, nitrogen and other gasses. But most of all you release more carbon dioxide. People often think that the lungs must be full of carbon dioxide but they are not. The percentage of gas in the lungs that is highest is nitrogen. 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.
When you exhale do you breathe out carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide?
of course we breathe out carbon dioxide not carbon monoxide
What do you exhale?
carbon dioxide.carbon-dioxide

What do you remove when you exhale?
You remove carbon dioxide when you exhale.
Which protists group produced most of the oxygen on earth?
All of them exhale carbon dioxide.
Can you reuse oxygen?
Yes we breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen.
How do you get rid of high blood carbon dioxide?
Exhale.
How does plants get the carbon dioxide?
Plants get carbon dioxide from the air we exhale. We breath out carbon dioxide and plants give us oxygen. So when we breath oxygen the air that we exhale is carbon dioxide that goes to plants.
When you exhale what is out in your body?
Carbon dioxide
Does carbon dioxide affect humans?
We exhale carbon dioxide or called CO2
How does carbon dioxide affects humans?
We exhale carbon dioxide or called CO2
What gas do you take when you exhale?
You inhale oxygen, and you exhale carbon dioxide.
