why do you need to breath out carbon dioxide ?

Excess carbon dioxide must be removed from the body to stop it reaching toxic levels. As the blood flows through the lungs, excess carbon dioxide passes out of the blood and into the alveoli by diffusion. It is then removed from the lungs when we exhale (breathe out).
We need to breath out carbon Di oxide because its not good for our health and hence it gets disposed out and also because indirectly the plants in return want carbon dioxide so as to carry out photosynthesis and give oxygen again for the presence of human life in atmosphere.....
hope it helps u friend..❤

The carbon dioxide content in our blood is actually what drives breathing, instead of our body’s need for oxygen!
Our blood likes to stay in a very narrow pH range (7.35–7.45), and carbon dioxide brings this pH range lower via the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. This enzyme rapidly converts CO2 and water into a substance called carbonic acid (H2CO3), which in turn can rapidly turn into HCO3- and free hydrogen ions (H+). The more H+ ions, the more acidic.
This is extremely bad for our blood. If the blood pH is down below 7.30 you’re in seriously bad shape, and any lower than 7.00, you’re looking at a pretty quick death due the bloods inability to carry oxygen via hemoglobin to the brain. If the brain can’t tell the heart to depolarize and send blood throughout the body and facilitate gas exchange, bad things start to happen really quickly. (within a few minutes)
Oxygen is important too, though! We breathe a whole lot of oxygen. (~432 L a day, which is 1216 cans of soda…) Oxygen acts as the final receptor for the electron transport chain, which is what our body uses to make most of it’s ATP. ATP binds to many substrates to allow active transport to happen between/within cells, which is extremely important to maintaining the chemical balance in our body. The sodium-potassium pump is one great example.
