Correct answer: organisms exhale carbon dioxide.
Explanation: During cellular respiration, organisms convert glucose and oxygen into water and carbon dioxide and release energy. The CO2 produced is exhaled (or released by microbes/other cells), returning carbon to the atmosphere — that links breathing to the carbon cycle. The statement "only animals release carbon dioxide" is false (plants, fungi, and microbes also respire).
