Carbon dioxide is a waste product breathed out by living animals. Excessive intake of carbon dioxide can lead to carbon dioxide poisoning.


What role do carbon dioxide play in the carbon dioxide oxygen cycle?

Carbon dioxide plays a crucial role in the carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle. Plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis to produce oxygen as a byproduct. This process helps to maintain the balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmosphere, supporting life on Earth.


Do cars pollute the air or people?

Both. Cars emit Hydrocarbons + Nitrogen Oxides + Carbon Dioxide + Carbon Monoxide. People emit Methane and Carbon Dioxide.


Explain how people are adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?

There is a natural cycle in which animals add carbon dioxide to the air and plants remove it, thus maintaining a stable concentration of carbon dioxide over a very long period of time. Humans are part of this natural cycle. Since the start of the Industrial Age, humans have been adding additional carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, increasing the proportion by around 35 per cent, from 260-280 parts per million (ppm) to the present 380 ppm. We do this by burning fossil fuels, manufacturing cement and by deforestation. We can reduce our impact on carbon dioxide concentrations by reducing and eventually eliminating our consumption of coal, oil and natural gas, by finding alternative processes for cement manufacture, including the capture and sequestration of gas produced, and by ceasing deforestation - even allowing some forests to return.


If we cut down tropical rain forest will it produce carbon dioxide?

No it won 't. Carbon dioxide is from the trees. If people cut down trees we won't have carbon dioxide.

Is carbon dioxide breathed in by people and released as oxygen?

No, it is the other way round, people breath in Oxygen (O2) and breath out Carbon Dioxide (CO2).


Does the level of carbon dioxide rise or fall in a room over time?

The level of carbon dioxide typically rises in a room over time as people exhale carbon dioxide as they breathe.


Why do people put carbon dioxide in sprite?

Carbon dioxide (or CO2) is a key ingredient in most sodas (pops). It's what turns it from a "kool-Aid" type drink to the bubbly beverage you are used to and where the term carbonated comes from. While I haven't heard of people adding more carbon dioxide to sodas, It could be added to "flat" sodas to bring back the bubbles. You'll also find it in beer, sparkling wine, Pop Rocks, fire extinguishers and more.


What kind of gas do people breathe out?
