Everyday functions of the body like digesting your food, moving your muscles or even just thinking, need oxygen. When these processes happen, a gas called carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product. The job of your lungs is to provide your body with oxygen and to get rid of the waste gas, carbon dioxide.

Answer:
Respiration is a process that involves exchange of gases and breakdown of food in the cells for the production of energy. All organisms require energy to perform different activities. This energy is produced in the body during the process of respiration in the form of ATP.
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O+38ATP when cell requires energy, hydrolysis of ATP occurs and energy is released.
