Correct answer: "Animals and plants both take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide during cellular respiration."
Explanation (brief): In cellular respiration both plants and animals use O2 to break down glucose, rearranging atoms to form CO2, H2O and release energy (ATP):
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy.
Plants also run photosynthesis (the reverse overall reaction) to make glucose and O2 from CO2 and H2O using light.
