When we breathe we are adding a new Tidal volume to our Functional Residual capcity. with that comes Oxygen, Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen and Water vapor. The only 2 gases that participate in actual gas exchange are oxygen and Carbon dioxide. Our ventialtion rate is matched to our Carbon dioxide production and therefore if we make twice as much carbon dioxide our ventilation will increase by 2 fold. At the lungs: Hydrogen + Bicarbonate form in the presence of Carbonic anhydrase Carbonic acid which gets converted by that same enzyme to Carbon dioxide and water. Remember carbon dioxide is a volatile acid so it is breathed off. Also at the lungs Oxygen saturates Hemoglobin because as hydrogen is being used by Carbonic anhydrase of the red blood cells it is being removed from the Hemoglobin an shifting the dissociation curve to the left therefore increasing Hemoglobin affinity for oxygen. Oxygen content = (% saturation of Hb x Amt of Hb) + Dissolved oxygen in plasma (ml/dl) o.3ml/dl is the normal dissolved oxygen in plasma if % saturation of Hb is 97.5 or higher.

∙ 16y agoWell, when one inhales air (in the effort to inhale oxygen; keep in mind that the air around us is not 100% oxygen as such a concentration of oxygen is actually poisonous to humans), the exhale is composed of CO2. Hope that gives you a start.

All producers and consumers use the chemical process of respiration to synthesize?
ATP
What is the chemical reaction that releases energy in the human body?
It is called cellular respiration (oxidation of carbohydrates), and the process is known as metabolism.
What is the chemical symbol for anaerobic respiration?
CO2
Is mechanical weathering a chemical process?
No. It is a physical process. Chemical weathering is a chemical process.
Respiration and breathing are identical process?
false
What is the process by which the chemical energy of food molecules is released?
The first step of the process is the digestion.
What chemical process may be described as the opposite of respiration?
Photosynthesis is considered as the opposite of respiration.
What chemical process(es) do producers and consumers share What chemical process(es) do they not share?
I don't know, someone answer PLEAZ!
What is accomplished by the process of respiration?
Respiration releases energy from food by a complex series of chemical reaction.
Process that makes energy available for food?
Respiration is the answer. Respiration is the process which releases chemical bond energy from organic nutrients(food).
What is tissue respiration?
tissue respiration is a chemical process where feaces are release in order for space to be made in the stomach
What chemical changes occur during the digestive process?
Cellular respiration
What is the name of the chemical process that uses oxygen in the body?
Cellular respiration
What During the process of cellular respiration energy is released from?
Chemical bonds
What is the physical and chemical process by which an organism supplies its own cells and tissues?
Respiration
All producers and consumers use the chemical process of respiration to synthesize?
ATP
What is the process that does the opposite to photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration, because it releases the energy stored in carbon bonds by photosynthesis, and recombines carbon into carbon dioxide.
