Solution

Respiration:
The process of respiration involves the exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen as well as the ingestion of oxygen into cells inside tissues.
Respiration in humans is aerobic which requires oxygen.
CO₂, H₂O, and ATP are the end products of respiration.
Yes, the respiration that took place with the oxygen we just inhaled produced the CO₂ that is ejected out.
