1. The process where our body obtains energy from food is called respiration . 2. During respiration , food in the form of sugar is oxidised by oxygen . 3. The products of respiration are energy , carbon dioxide , and water vapour . 4. Living things use the energy to carry out living processes such as breathing , moving and reproduction. 5. Carbon dioxide and water vapour are waste products that need to be removed from the body . 6. Living things obtain the oxygen needed for respiration through breathing . 7. During breathing , living things take in oxygen from the air and remove carbon dioxide and water vapour . 8. This explain s why the content of oxygen is more in inhaled air than in exhaled air.
