Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The gas that provides energy to the body is oxygen, while the one that produces waste products or “exhaust” of the body is ____
A
carbon dioxide
B
Water
C
Blood
D
Fluid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Oxygen gets utilised in the process of cellular respiration, and carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product. This carbon dioxide diffuses into the blood and is carried to the lungs and gets removed from the body while exhaling (breathing out). Q.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Carbon dioxide is a waste byproduct of cellular respiration. This is removed out of the body by the lungs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The carbon dioxide breathed out is a by-product of the process of cell respiration, as is water. In this process, energy is produced in the mitochondria of cells. This energy is our physical “life force". Both oxygen and glucose are required for this.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbon dioxide is a waste product of combusting fossil fuels, and its accumulation in the atmosphere presents a planetary hazard. Carbon dioxide is also managed and used as a resource.

Detailed explanation-5: -Our body needs oxygen to obtain energy to fuel all our living processes. Carbon dioxide is a waste product of that process. The respiratory system, with its conduction and respiratory zones, brings air from the environment to the lungs and facilitates gas exchange both in the lungs and within the cells.
