The process in the body that produces carbon dioxide consists of air being taken into the lungs, known as inspiration or inhalation. The air is then taken back out, known as expiration or exhalation. Carbon dioxide is a waste gas produced when carbon combines with oxygen associated with energy-making processes in the body. Respiration is a term given to exchanges of oxygen found in the environment for the carbon dioxide from cells in the body. The respiratory system and the lungs allow for oxygen present in air to be absorbed by the body and allows the release of the waste gas carbon dioxide in air that is breathed out.

We're all made out of the insides of stars! Plants get carbon by taking carbon dioxide out of the air and breaking off the oxygen atoms, and animals (including people) get carbon by eating plants or other animals. Animals recombine the carbon with oxygen to make carbon dioxide, which is what you breathe out.And when plants and animals die, their bodies also gradually become carbon dioxide again. Most of what we use for fuel is made of carbon, too.Coal, gasoline, oil, and wood are all made of hydro-carbons. In the picture you can see leftover carbon dust pouring out of this truck that burns diesel fuel. It's this carbon pouring into the air that's causing global warming.nimals recombine the carbon with oxygen to make carbon dioxide, which is what you breathe out.
