Maggots primarily take in oxygen (O2) and release carbon dioxide (CO2) during their respiration process. As they metabolize organic material for energy, they consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct. This gas exchange occurs through spiracles, small openings in their bodies that allow for the intake of oxygen and the expulsion of carbon dioxide.
