Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -CO2 is produced as a byproduct of this reaction. The O2 needed for cellular respiration is obtained via inhalation. The CO2 that is generated is removed from the body via exhalation.
Detailed explanation-2: -At each cell in your body, oxygen is exchanged for a waste gas called carbon dioxide. Your bloodstream then carries this waste gas back to the lungs where it is removed from the bloodstream and then exhaled.
