There is 21% oxygen in the atmosphere and 300 ppm (0.03%) carbon dioxide. This translated to 700 times more oxygen than carbon dioxide.

More oxygen than carbon dioxide.


Does plants also change oxygen into carbon dioxide?

Yes, but at night. It make oxygen more than it does carbon dioxide though. ---- Plants, like animals, do have metabolisms by which energy is generated through the oxidation of sugar, which produces carbon dioxide. However, green plants consume much more carbon dioxide, in the process of photosynthesis, than they produce by means of their metabolism, and they produce much more oxygen than they consume.

What would happen if you breathed in too much carbon dioxide?

Air contains oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and other compounds. We take carbon dioxide into our lungs all the time, but our lungs keep the oxygen. However, if you were in a room with ONLY carbon dioxide, you would die--not from carbon dioxide per se, but from lack of oxygen.

Do plants give out carbon dioxide and take in oxygen or do plants give out oxygen and take in carbon dioxide?

Plants give out oxygen (from the breakdown of water) and take in carbon dioxide, which they use to form carbohydrates in the process of photosynthesis.However, at night and in darker conditions, plants still need energy, and use cellular respiration as animals do, taking in some oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. This is normally much less chemical activity than photosynthesis, so green plants release much more oxygen than they use.


How much carbon dioxide is made from oxygen and carbon during a fire?

If combustion is complete (which it usually is not) you will get a carbon dioxide molecule for every carbon atom or for every oxygen molecule depending on which runs out first.


Do any plants produce as much carbon dioxide as humans?

No, it's the other way around. Plants intake Carbon dioxide and put out Oxygen. In the theory of how the world formed, this is how the atmosphere got to contain Oxygen, from plants spreading over the continents and producing Oxygen.


What happens when the atmosphere has a higher percentage of carbon dioxide and lower oxygen?

The Earth will become hotter as carbon dioxide traps heat to keep the Earth warm. But too much carbon dioxide will cause the Earth to be more warm and that lead to global warming.


What is carbon dioxide rich blood?

Carbon dioxide rich blood, which is red blood cells lacking oxygen but high in carbon dioxide concentration.These blood cells have circulated through the body and given up much of its oxygen while collecting waste carbon dioxide. The pulmonary artery carries this blood from the heart to the lungs, where it picks up a fresh supply of oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide.
