Answer:
Respiration removes oxygen from the atmosphere and produces and releases carbon dioxide to the atmosphere
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two types of respiration:
1. Aerobic respiration
2. Anaerobic respiration
Aerobic respiration
It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.
Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP
Thus in aerobic respiration oxygen is taken and carbon dioxide is released.
Anaerobic Respiration
It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.
Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide
