If the partial pressure of CO2 at sea level is approximately 0.23 mm Hg how does this influence gas exchange in terrestrial animals?

the higher pressure of oxygen causes the lung surface to extract oxygen and give up carbon dioxide


What gas has approximately the same density as carbon dioxide gas at standard temperature pressure?

NO


What happens to the partial pressure of carbon dioxide during breath holding?

The partial pressure of carbon dioxide increases as a function of time, depending on how long you hold your breathe. Initially, this will cause some discomfort and lead to a mild headache or muscle fatigue if you are not breathing properly during strenuous exercise. However, with proper training (like that undertaken by swimmers), you can hold your breath longer while pushing your body to perform optimally.


How does carbon dioxide get out of your bloodstream?

It is gas exchange in the alveoli that gets the carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the blood and the oxygen (O2) in. What is actually going on is that the partial pressure of CO2 in the blood is greater than that of the CO2 in the air. The CO2 will diffuse out of the blood into the air, driven by that difference in partial pressure. And diffusion, driven by the higher partial pressure of O2 in the air drives that oxygen in the air into the blood. A link can be found below to an animated short that explains the process. Check it out.
