Breathing

Explanation:

The animals breathe in order to intake oxygen from the atmosphere into their body. The oxygen helps in the breakdown of organic matter inside the body to high energy particles Adenosine triphosphate.

During the process of cellular respiration, carbon dioxide is released out of the body. This is how the animals release carbon dioxide into the air.
