Respiration rids the body of CO_2

Explanation:

The overall equation for cellular respiration is
60_2 + C_6H_12O_2 rarr 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + ATP.
six oxygen molecules combine with 1 glucose molecule to produce six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules. Chemical energy is also stored in the form of adenosine triphosphate.

CO_2 is eventually collected in the lungs and exhaled through negative pressure.
