Considering combustion engines and babies, the similarity in chemical processes is apparent.
In an engine, gasoline reacts with oxygen to exhaust carbon dioxide and water. Source of equation: Richard E. Barrans Jr., Newton Ask-a-scientist.
In humans, glucose reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
While the chemical processes are alike for humans and engines, their mechanical constructions are different. Engines breathe through separate intake and exhaust ports. Humans breathe through the same ports for intake and exhaust..... sometimes resulting in carbon dioxide rebreathing.
