During cellular respiration, the majority of carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct from the breakdown of glucose during the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle) and the subsequent steps in the mitochondria. The carbon dioxide is then released as waste through exhalation.
Inhalation: Breathing in air containing oxygen. Alveolar gas exchange: Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide moves in the opposite direction. Transportation: Oxygen binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells for delivery to tissues, while carbon dioxide is carried back to the lungs. Cellular respiration: Oxygen is used by cells for energy production, while carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct. Carbon dioxide transport: Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood in three forms: dissolved in plasma, bound to hemoglobin, or as bicarbonate ions. Tissue gas exchange: Oxygen diffuses from the blood into tissues, while carbon dioxide moves from tissues into the blood. Cellular metabolism: Oxygen is used in the mitochondria to produce ATP through aerobic respiration, while carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product. Exhalation: Removing carbon dioxide from the body by breathing it out.
The Calvin cycle
The breakdown of glucose into carbon dioxide and water is known as cellular respiration. This process occurs in multiple steps, including glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. During these steps, glucose is gradually broken down to release energy in the form of ATP, with carbon dioxide being produced as a byproduct.
The Light Dependent process and then the Light Independent process (known as the Calvin Cycle).
The oxygen cycle involves several key steps: 1) Photosynthesis by plants and phytoplankton, where they use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, 2) Animals then breathe in oxygen and use it for respiration, converting it back into carbon dioxide, 3) Decomposers break down dead organic matter and release carbon dioxide, completing the cycle.
External respiration involves the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and blood. The steps include: 1. Inhalation: Oxygen is taken in through the airways into the lungs. 2. Oxygen exchange: Oxygen diffuses from the lungs into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the lungs. 3. Exhalation: Carbon dioxide is expelled from the lungs when we breathe out.
Citric acid cycle
The consumption of oxygen does not occur during the Calvin cycle. This process involves carbon fixation, reduction of carbon compounds, and regeneration of RuBP. Oxygen is not directly involved in these steps.
It's called the Krebs's cycle and it consists of the steps to convert a 2 carbon sugar into CO2 and H2O. (And you don't own the genetic code to do this ... only the mitochondria do.)
During cellular respiration, the majority of carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct from the breakdown of glucose during the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle) and the subsequent steps in the mitochondria. The carbon dioxide is then released as waste through exhalation.
The four steps in photosynthesis are light absorption by chlorophyll, water splitting to release oxygen, production of ATP and NADPH in the light-dependent reactions, and conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose in the Calvin cycle.
During respiration, oxygen is inhaled into the lungs and diffuses into the bloodstream. It is then transported by red blood cells to cells in the body where it participates in cellular respiration, combining with nutrients to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water. The carbon dioxide is then carried back to the lungs through the bloodstream where it is exhaled out of the body.
The human lungs get carbon dioxide from the bloodstream. As blood flows from the body's tissues to the lungs, it carries carbon dioxide. In the lungs, carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen during the process of respiration.

Carbon dioxide and water react during a series of steps to produce glucose and oxygen in the process of photosynthesis. The overall chemical reaction is:6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2
During the preparation steps in the second stage of aerobic respiration (Krebs cycle), two carbons depart as carbon dioxide in the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA. In the cycle proper, all six carbons that entered are released as carbon dioxide molecules in the form of three molecules of CO2.
