Does the oxygen burned from fire turn into carbon dioxide?
Not on its own, and it depends on what is burning. A fire can only produce carbon dioxide if the substance burning with the oxygen contains carbon. And even then, if there are other elements, you will get more substances as products. Carbon will produce carbon dioxide and usually some carbon monoxide as well. Hydrogen will produce water vapor. Sulfur will produce sulfur dioxide. Magnesium will produce magnesium oxide.
Do cars or houses produce more carbon dioxide?
Cars produce much more than houses.
Do vegetarians produce most carbon dioxide?
No, meat eaters are responsible for more carbon dioxide than vegetarians. Cattle belch a lot of methane, which is a greenhouse gas more powerful than carbon dioxide.
Do plants need clean air to make oxygen and food?
No they take in the carbon dioxide, to produce oxygen. So they produce more oxygen in dirtier (more air containg carbon dioxide) air.
How does digesting food produce carbon dioxide?
The digesting of food is more likely to cause methane than carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is liberated when dissolved food is used in biological processes at the cellular level as carbon compounds combine with oxygen to produce energy.
What do big engines produce?
they produce more carbon dioxidedont get a 4x4 they produce ten imes more carbon dioxide than an Audi tt sport turbo with a v12 engine
Does plants also change oxygen into carbon dioxide?
Yes, but at night. It make oxygen more than it does carbon dioxide though. ---- Plants, like animals, do have metabolisms by which energy is generated through the oxidation of sugar, which produces carbon dioxide. However, green plants consume much more carbon dioxide, in the process of photosynthesis, than they produce by means of their metabolism, and they produce much more oxygen than they consume.
What part of the day do plants produce more carbon dioxide then oxygen?
During the night
How does exercise affect the amount of carbon released from the lungs?
Your body is an engine that uses fuel (food) to produce energy for you to do exercise. The fuel contains carbon from the carbohydrates you eat, and the body uses oxygen from the air to do a chemical reaction that combines the carbon with the oxygen to produce energy plus carbon dioxide. If you do exercise, you use more fuel and more oxygen, and you produce more carbon dioxide. The body has sensors that detect excess carbon dioxide in the blood, and they make you breathe faster to get rid of it.
What is the natural cycle in which plants use carbon dioxide to produce oxygen?
Plants consume carbon dioxide in photosynthesis to produce glucose as the main product. Oxygen is a byproduct (or more accurately a waste product) of photosynthesis.
What part of the day do plants produce more carbon dioxide and oxygen?
In general, plants either produce oxygen or produce carbon dioxide, but not both at the same time. During the daytime plants use sunlight (or other sources of light) to support photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is taken in and oxygen is generated. At night (or when it is dark) plants take in oxygen and generate carbon dioxide.
Why do you breath out more carbon dioxide then you breath in?
You produce carbon dioxide through cellular respiration when you breath in air. Cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide from converting oxygen into it through a long process and also produces energy.
