Best Answer

CO2 WILL increase your respiratory rate as you are needing to breathe in more air (oxygen) to breathe.

How does increase of CO2 levels affect photosynthesis?

Up to a point, an increase of the reactant Carbon dioxide will increase the production of oxygen (increase the rate of photosynthesis). However, it will eventually change the ratio of CO2 and water as the CO2 increases, and the production of oxygen will decrease, (or in other words, the rate of photosynthesis decreases). This is one of the reasons why an increase of CO2 levels in the atmosphere is dangerous, as oxygen levels will decrease.


What is the relationship between increased blood carbon dioxide respiratory rate and depth?

CO2 is the primary cvontrol for rate of breathing (not oxygen as many would expect). High levels of CO2 are very toxid to the tissues of the body and os it was allowed to remain in the blood most of these tissues would die off. And so sensors within the blood systmem detect the CO2 levels and stimulate faster deeper breathing if thesae elvels are to high for safety.


What factors increase or decrease the rate of photosynthesis?

carbondioxide: increase cO2- photosynthesis


What is the effect of hyperventilation on pH?

Blood pH is normally 7.35-7.45. With excess CO2 in the circulatory system, cabonic acid becomes present, which in turn decreases pH of blood. Thus, to return blood pH to a normal level, ventilation is increased to increase oxygen saturation and decrease CO2 saturation, which will then reduce the amount of carbonic acid, which will normalize blood pH.


What environmental characteristics increase the rate of photosynthesis?

Factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis are 1) Light intensity: - the brightness which increases the rate of photosynthesis if increased 2) Light quality: - the color of the light (chlorophyll absorbs red and blue and reflects green, orange, and yellow so red and blue are preferable) 3) CO2 concentration: - the more CO2 the more photosynthesis will occur. 4) chlorophyll availability: - the more chlorophyll the more photosynthesis will occur. 5) water: - INDIRECTLY as if there is little water the plant will stop transpiration by closing the stomata keeping the water inside, but not allowing gaseous diffusion.

What effect would an increase in co2 have on respiratory rate?

respiration rate would increase in order to blow off co2


Does increase in blood co2 increase or decrease respiratory rate?

When your oxygen levels go up and carbon dioxide levels in the body go down this will cause your heart rate to speed up. This is caused by the blood vessels opening and the heart working harder to pump the blood.

If your pCO2 is 35 and your pH is 7.35 what would happen if you increase your respiratory rate?

If you are healthy nothing should happen because your body will make the necessary adjustments by increasing the sodium bicarbonate level to keep the pH level normal. If you are sick and you increase your resp rate and your body can't adjust then the pH will go down along with the cO2 level. This is true if the body is given enough time to adjust. However, it takes the renal system 24 - 48 hours to adjust to changes in the CO2 levels. In the short run, if you increase respiratory rate, the CO2 level will decrease and the pH will increase. This can lead to a respiratory alkalosis.

What is the relationship between increased blood co2 and respiratory rate and depth?

The higher the respiratory rate and deeper the breaths the lower the blood CO2.


How does hypoventilation affect respiratory rate?

It is due to CO2 reduction. Low CO2 stimulates chemo-receptors in brain stem. Respiratory rate is reduced in order for CO2 to come back to normal.


Did it appear that CO2 or O2 had a greater effect on modifying the respiratory rate?

CO2


When blood CO2 levels increase does the pH increase or decrease?

It decreases.


What is the respiratory mechanism of pH control?

The respiratory system helps control the acidity of the blood by regulating the elimination of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O).These molecules are exhaled with every breath.H2CO3 --> H2O + CO2(carbonic acid)The brain is sensitive to blood CO2 levels and pH.A significant increase in CO2 or decrease below pH 7.38 of arterial blood- causes breathing to increase (in rate and depth)- results in hyperventilation- more CO2 is exhaled- eliminates CO2 - reduces H2CO3 and H+ concentrations- increases pH back to normalA significant decrease in CO2 or increase in pH- causes breathing to decrease- results in hypoventilation- less CO2 is exhaled- increases CO2 - increases H2CO3 and H+ concentrations- decreases pH back to normalRespiratory mechanism (depth and rate of breathing) controls CO2CO2 in solution is an acid.Partial Carbon Dioxide (PaCO2) levels in Arterial Blood Gas (ABG).Higher PaCO2 causes acidosis (lower pH), or neutralizes alkalosis.Lower PaCO2 causes alkalosis (raises pH.), or neutralizes acidosis.


How is the rate of respiration related to the amount of co2 in the blood?

Carbon bi oxide is powerful stimulant for the respiration. Increase in carbon bi oxide increase the rate of respiration. Decrease in carbon bi oxide decease the rate of respiration.
