What gas do volcano pump out?
carbon dioxide
What pumps blood toward the lungs where it exchanges carbon dioxide for oxygen?
Oxygen passes into the blood and carbon dioxide leaves it through the walls of the capillaries which surround the alveoli in the lungs. It's not really correct to use terms like 'pump' and 'collect', as this is a simple process of diffusion.
What is the function of the circultary system?
The circulatory system allows for the transport of vital substances (chemicals, blood gases, etc. throughout the body for availability to cells). One of its primary functions in this respect is to pump oxygenated blood from the lungs into the heart, out to the body for cells to use for oxidative phosphorylation and energy generation, and then pump carbon dioxide-rich blood back through the heart and to the lungs, where carbon dioxide can be exchanged for oxygen again.
What is a biological pump?
A biological pump is the collection of biological ocean processes which regulate the uptake, storage, and release of carbon.
A heat pump has a cop rating of 2.5 to 1 if 200 watts of electricity are used to run the heat pump how many equivalent watts are produced?
19.a heat pump has a COP rating of 2.5 to 1. If 200 watts of electricity are used to run the heat pump, how many equivalent watts(heat) are produced?
What gas do volcano pump out?
carbon dioxide
What leaves the blood when it is pump to the lungs?
Carbon dioxide.
Why carbon dioxide is so significant when considering global warming and climate change?
All the extra carbon dioxide that man is adding to the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) is proving too much for the natural carbon cycle to deal with. (The carbon cycle moves carbon in and out of the atmosphere, helping to keep the earth warm enough for life.)We have also cut down billions of trees in the past 250 years that used to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, release the oxygen and store the carbon in their roots, trunks, branches and leaves, often for hundreds of years.All this means that the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are rising, up 40% from the start of the Industrial Revolution. This is causing global warming, which causes climate change.Because the planet requires plants and trees to absorb CO2 and put out oxygen into the atmosphere. They have a finite limit to their capability, so if we pump out more CO2 than they are capable of absorbing, there will be a buildup of surplus CO2 which is what is alleged to cause climate change.The answer is either to plant and grow more vegetation to absorb the CO2, or reduce the CO2 output.Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas which means it lets heat in and it keeps most of it in.If too much carbon dioxide is emitted in the atmosphere, the heat energy from the sun will be strongly insulated with the carbon dioxide - causing the Earth's surface to become much warmer hence "global warming."The polluting carbon dioxide can make Earth's climates warmer.carbon dioxide in the atmosphere provides plants with carbon for photosynthesis. its also traps heat from the sun that would otherwise escape from Earth back into space. this important property,known as the GREENHOUSE EFFECT, keeps the world climate warm enough for all living organisms.
Where does the heart pump blood low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide?
The heart pumps blood low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide to the lungs, where blood releases carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen.
How do producers use CO2?
Oil producers use carbon dioxide in enhanced recovery operations to recover more oil from depleted formations. To do this they pump carbon dioxide into strategically placed wells to drive the oil towards an extraction well. The oil enhances recovery by driving the oil along and by reducing the viscosity by reducing the average molecular weight of the oil. Thinner oil flows better. The carbon dioxide is obtained from manufacturers, carbon dioxide wells and from the produced oil.
What do industries pump into the atmosphere to affect rain water?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Sulfer Dioxide (SO2) both of which form acids when mixed with rain water.
How does the heart pump blood to the lungs via the pulmonary artery to take up oxygen from the inspired air and at the same time releasing the waste product of carbon dioxide?
Both oxygen and carbon dioxide cross the thin lining of the alveolus. Oxygen crosses from inside the lung into the blood and carbon dioxide crosses from the blood into the lung to be exhaled.
What is a major disadvantage of using fossil fuels?
They warm the planet.They release greenhouse gases.They release Carbon Dioxide back into the atmosphere. They therefore help to cause global warming.They also release poisonous gases such as Carbon Monoxide.They are a non renewable resource that releases long sequestered CO2 (a greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere.
What do the viens arteries and capillaries do?
They pump blood to and from your heart carrying rich red blood cells. They also help take in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide.
Why does pulse rate go up with exercise?
Exercise causes an increase in carbon dioxide in the blood. The raise in carbon dioxide alerts the respiratory center in the brain, which then causes the lungs to breathe harder/faster in order to keep a good balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen occur in the alveoli in the lungs by the process of diffusion. Since the heart and lungs function together, the heart must pump blood faster to keep up with the needs of the lungs. The blood must be oxidized faster, so the heart makes the blood flow faster throughout the body so the lungs can put oxygen in the blood and the carbon dioxide can be expelled.

How long till the world will be at end if you keep pumping out co2?
Since trees and plants take in Carbon Dioxide and pump out oxygen, most likely not anytime soon.
