What will happen to carbon dioxide as blood flows around the alveoli?

The CO2 is diffused back into the alveoli, where, by the diaphragm, is pushed back into the environment by atmospheric pressure.

Where does gas exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen happen?
In the alveoli which is in the lungs
Why do blood capillaries surround alveoli?
The alveoli are the sites of respiration: the oxygen in them provided by the inhaled air diffuses into the blood cells that flow through the capillaries. Carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood and into the alveoli so it can be exhaled. The capillaries provide a way for the blood to reach the alveoli. Hope this helps
What happen when one molecule of carbon combines with two molecules of oxygen?
carbon dioxide is produced.
Why does carbon dioxide happen?
When you smoke, ride a vehicle, or use electricity, you let out carbon dioxide.
What would happen if layer of carbon dioxide around the earth got thicker?
There is no insulating LAYER of Carbon Dioxide round the Earth. The Carbon Dioxide is mixed up with the Oxygen and Nitrogen in Earth's atmosphere and is not present in the atmosphere as a layer. If the absolute amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the Earth would get warmer.

What would happen if you kept on breathing in carbon dioxide?
There is carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. You have been breathing it in all your life.
What could happen to carbon dioxide if water temperatures rise?
Carbon dioxide is released from water at high temperature.
What will happen when one particle of carbon dioxide and 2 particles of oxygen?
Nothing, carbon dioxide and oxygen do NOT react.
What must happen for carbon dioxide to sublimate at a given pressure?
Energy must transfer to the carbon dioxide from its surroundings
What happen if you breath only with carbon dioxide?
you die
What would happen if carbon dioxide in the air increases around a plant?
The rate of photosynthesis will increase, if light is not a limiting factor
