When we inhaled, we use the oxygen in the air to send to the organs in our body, in order to stay alive. When all the oxygen stored in a red blood cell is used up, our bodies convert it to carbon dioxide, and this is part of the air which we exhaled.

How is inhaled air different from exhaled air?

Because the body has used the oxygen in the air to oxidize the nutrients you eat, this process combines the oxygen that you inhaled with carbon which makes up part of the nutrients you eat to form a poisonous gas "carbon-dioxide" which is then transported back to the lungs and exhaled along with moisture.
