Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -At the same time, the carbon dioxide waste from the breakdown of sugars in the cells of the body diffuses into the blood and then diffuses from the blood into the lungs and is expelled as we breathe out. One gas (oxygen) is exchanged for another (carbon dioxide).
Detailed explanation-2: -The average human exhales about 2.3 pounds of carbon dioxide on an average day. (The exact quantity depends on your activity level-a person engaged in vigorous exercise produces up to eight times as much CO2 as his sedentary brethren.)
