Respiration rids the body of CO_2CO2

Explanation:

The overall equation for cellular respiration is
60_2602 + C_6H_12O_2C6H12O2 rarr 6CO_26CO2 + 6H_2O6H2O + 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_2CO2 is eventually collected in the lungs and exhaled through negative pressure.
