When you hold your breath for half a minute the carbon dioxide concentration in the blood will?
If you hold your breath, the carbon dioxide concentration in the blood will increase. Carbon dioxide is constantly produced by the body's metabolism, and constantly exhaled. So if it is not exhaled, it will start to build up.
How does minute volume increase with exercise?
The minute respiratory volume also increases from the normal to support high metabolic rate.this leads to more production of carbon dioxide and its concentration in blood will increase.increased breathing will speed the loss of carbon dioxide to maintain a normal Ph.
What are stomata in biological terms?
Stomata are small openings on a leaf through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can move through.
How do stomata help the plant?
yes, because plants synthesis food materials by photo synthesis so, for photosynthsis carbon dioxide is necessary ,generally co2 diffuse through stomata so inderictly stomats help in making food materials,
The volume of air available for gas exchange per minute is called what?
alveolar ventilation.
Hypercapnia causes minute ventilation to?
increase as the minute ventilation is the amount of carbon dioxide

What are the 4 gases that make up earths atmosphere?
78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, carbon dioxide 0,04 %, etc.

How does the exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen take place in the lungs?
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place in between the alveoli and capillaries. Oxygen moves through the cell membrane of the capillaries of the alveoli and then into the blood. Then oxygen is picked up by hemoglobin, and carried to all the body cells. At the same time, waste(carbon dioxide) leaves the body by exhaling --- @luvzbieber
Where in the lungs does the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place?
The primary function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Inhaled oxygen enters the lungs and reaches the alveoli. The layers of cells lining the alveoli and the surrounding capillaries are each only one cell thick and are in very close contact with each other. This barrier between air and blood averages about 1 micron (1/10,000 of a centimeter) in thickness. Oxygen passes quickly through this air-blood barrier into the blood in the capillaries. Similarly, carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the alveoli and is then exhaled Oxygenated blood travels from the lungs through the pulmonary veins and into the left side of the heart, which pumps the blood to the rest of the bodyOxygen-deficient, carbon dioxide-rich blood returns to the right side of the heart through two large veins, the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. Then the blood is pumped through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxideTo support the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, about 6 to 10 liters of air per minute are brought in and out of the lungs, and about three tenths of a liter of oxygen is transferred from the alveoli to the blood each minute, even when the person is at rest. At the same time, a similar volume of carbon dioxide moves from the blood to the alveoli and is exhaled. During exercise, it is possible to breathe in and out more than 100 liters of air per minute and extract 3 liters of oxygen from this air per minute. The rate at which oxygen is used by the body is one measure of the rate of energy expended by the body. Breathing in and out is accomplished by respiratory muscles
What are 4 gases that make the earths atmosphere?
78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% carbon dioxide and other minute gases
How many times do kids breath per minute?
Each minute kids take an average of 20 breaths. When you breathe in, your lungs fill with oxygen. When you breathe out, your lungs push out carbon dioxide.
How much carbon dioxide is used by the human body per minute?
10g every 29.84 seconds=Qouted by famous scientist==albert lewii=
Which planets have atmospheres?
All the planets in our Solar System have atmospheres, except for Mercury, which only has minute traces of gases.
What are the major contributors of carbon dioxide?
Most researchers believe that CO2 (carbon dioxide) is the largest contributor to the greenhouse effect. CO2 is formed in great quantities by the burning of fossil fuels. Many hydrocarbons also play a role som minute quantities have significant effects.
What diseases affect the alvioli?
Alveoli are the minute sacs inside the lungs that expand and contain a membrane that allows the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, called respiration. One of the major diseases that affect the alveoli is emphysema. That is when the walls between the alveoli breaks down and they lose surface area and become less efficient at respiration.
