Humans breathe out CO2 that is fixed by plants in the process of photosynthesis CO2 + H20 = (CH2O) +O2 , in this reaction CO2 is reduced and H2O is oxidized. The oxygen produced, restores air and consequently it is essential for respiration in humans and in other aerobic organisms.

Humans breathe out CO2. It is released into the atmosphere. Then it is absorbed, among other things, plants. Plants use C02 in the process of photosynthesis, which turns light into food. One of the byproducts of photosynthesis is oxygen, which humans breathe and process to make energy. The byproduct of that is CO2, which is breathed out again.
