What maintains the balance of CO2 and O2 in the atmosphere?
plants maintain balance of co2 and o2 in the atmosphere..
What is the balanced chemical reaction of CO2---CO O2?
This reaction is:2 CO2 = 2 CO + O2
What is CO2 and O2?
O2 is the chemical formula for Oxygen. CO2 is the formula for Carbon Dioxide. (One Carbon, 2 Oxygen)
How do you balance the following equation ch4 plus o2 ------- co2 plus h20?
CH4+O2 --- CO2+H2O... All that's missing - is the number 2 before the water molecule... CH4+O2 --- CO2+2H2O
What element is transported by your red blood cells?
Iron..Part of hemoglobin in red blood cells ; transports oxygen
How is oxygen and carbon dioxide transported in humans?
O2 and Co2 are transported throughout human body by blood. 97% of O2 combines with haemoglobin of RBCs to form oxyhaemoglobin within the lungs. The oxyhaemoglobin then gives out O2 to all the cells. The remaining 3% gets dissolved in blood plasma. 70% of CO2 gets dissolved in blood plasma to reach the lungs from the tissues. The remaining contents of Co2 then combines with haemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin to reach the lungs from the tissues.
What substance needed by the body cells enters the body through the lungs?
O2 and Co2, but we breathe out the Co2 again + the O2 which is converted in more Co2
Why do you have a lungs?
to expel CO2 from your body and to allow O2 into your bloodstream
What are the functions of blood in respiration?
Blood in the body carried respiratory gases (i.e. O2 and CO2) around the body to cells where it's needed for cellular respiration.
Why is o2 and co2 considered a fluid?
O2 and CO2 are gases at rtp. As all gases and liquids are fluids, O2 and CO2 are considered fluids.
Three major characteristics of the respiratory system?
1)Breathing2) Transport of O2 from the lungs to the rest of the body; transport of CO2 from the tissues back to the lungs3) O2 diffuses from Red Blood Cells into body cells; CO2 moves into the blood
What happens to rubisco when o2 concentration is much higher then CO2 concentration?
When ther is a higher concentration of O2 than CO2, rubisco can bind O2 in place of CO2.
Where does the blood go after it was pump to the body?
it will go back to the lungs carrying CO2 to exchange with O2
What maintains the balance of CO2 and O2 in the atmosphere?
plants maintain balance of co2 and o2 in the atmosphere..
What describes the role of lungs in gas exchange A takes in O2 from blood B produces CO2 as a cellular respiration waste C extracts O2 from the atmosphere for body cells D gives CO2 to capillaries?
It extracts oxygen from the atmosphere for use by body cells.
CO2 fixed into four carbon compounds?
C4 pathways has enzymes that can fix CO2 into 4 Carbon compounds even when the CO2 is low and the O2 is high. Those 4 Carbon compounds are then transported to other cells where the CO2 is released and enters the Calvin Cycle.
How can you tell if blood is transported when you sleep?
Of course blood is transported during sleep if it wasnt you would be dead the organs are still active just to a lesser extent and so still produce CO2 which must removed and require O2 to be supplied.
