Per glucose molecule, 2 moles of carbon dioxide are released during the link reaction of respiration when pyruvate is oxidised to acetyl coA and 4 moles are also released in the Krebs cycle when citrate is oxised to oxoloacetate. This is because each molecule of glucose is broken down into 2 molecules of pyruvate, each of which perform the link reaction and the Krebs cycle.
Normally, carbon dioxide is taken in by plants and released as oxygen. Us humans (and any living thing) breathes in this oxygen and breathes out carbon dioxide, once again taken in by the plants. This is called the carbon cycle.
The equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2 ------> 6CO2+6H2O. :)
HOWEVER, these days, humans have been the main problem in the situation of 'Global warming'. With SO MANY sources like fossil burning (combustion) and oil spillage and much more, the earth's temperature is rising provoking Global warming.
An average of 29 million, 8 hundred thousand trees are cut down everyday around the world. As trees have a major role in the carbon cycle, more and more carbon dioxide, breathed out by us is left un-used in the atmosphere.
We need to stop OUR planet from suffering. I put 'our' in capitals because we must remind ourselves that this is where we are from, and if there is an end to the world, make it a happy one. No one likes dying in pain... The earth needs us and we're stamping all over it, make a difference :')
carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide is a waste product of cellular respiration in organisms and is a raw material used in photosynthesis. During respiration, organisms produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct, while during photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide to produce glucose.
The carbon dioxide in cellular respiration comes from the breakdown of glucose molecules during the process. When glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen, carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct.
During cellular respiration, cells produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) by breaking down glucose and other organic molecules in the presence of oxygen. Carbon dioxide and water are also produced as byproducts.
During respiration, oxygen is taken in by the body and carbon dioxide is released as a waste product.
During external respiration, carbon dioxide is released from the body by diffusing from the blood into the alveoli in the lungs. It is then exhaled out of the body during the process of breathing.
carbon dioxide
The carbon atoms are released as carbon dioxide (C02) which is what humans breathe out
it is absorbed back into the matrix
oxygen is added to the atmosphere when plants take in carbon dioxide during cellular respiration

Carbon dioxide is created during respiration.
