Solution

All plants and animals use oxygen for respiration and give out carbon dioxide.
Respiration is a process in which food is taken by an organism combined with oxygen and releases energy and carbon dioxide.
$\underset{Glucose}{C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}} + \underset{Oxygen}{6 O_{2}} \to \underset{Carbon dioxide}{6 {CO}_{2}} + \underset{Water}{6 H_{2} O} + ATP$
Hence, the given statement is false.
Corrected statement: Oxygen is a gaseous non-metal essential for respiration.
