Carbon dioxide acts as a source of carbon, it is an inorganic molecule which reactions with RuBP (Ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate) to for an unstable 6 carbon compound which breaks down into 2 molecules of GP (Glycerate 3-phosphate).
Note: The reaction of CO2 and RuBP is catalysed by Rubisco (Ribulose 1,5 bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase)
GP in turn is used to synthesize amino acids (with the use of nitrates from the soil) and fatty acids.

Do the ashes from charcoal have a greater mass than when there whole?
No. The ashes have less mass. Mass is "lost" through carbon particles that bind with oxygen to form carbon dioxide gas.
Is rubisco able to bind with carbon dioxide and oxygen?
Rubisco will only fix oxygen when carbon dioxide is in short supply or inaccessible (most commonly because of closed or partially closed stomata). When rubisco fixes oxygen instead of carbon, it is called photorespiration. This process probably evolved as an adaption to hot dry environments with limited amounts of carbon dioxide; however, photorespiration is a highly inefficient process.
How is carbon monoxide created during welding?
welding gasses are used to block out oxygen from the weld, using an oxide would not be ideal A: Steel is welded with an Argon/Carbon Dioxide mix....mostly carbon dioxide. 15%/85%. Perhaps CO is too reactive to iron. It is 5 times more likely to bind with the hemoglobin in your blood than oxygen. Probably increases chances of being DEAD. I imagine it would be more expensive than CO2 as well as CO2 is pretty comonly used!!
Which is dangerous to breathe carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide?
Both can be dangerous. CO2 from the side of if there is only co2 there is no oxygen. However, Carbon monoxide can bind 10 times stronger to the iron centre in haemoglobin than oxygen does, therefore you cannot transport oxygen around your body. I'd say due to this, CO is likely to be far more dangerous
What happens during the Kreb's cycle?
-The pyruvates produced in glycolysis are converted to Acetyl CoA molecules, which enter the Krebs cycle. -Acetyl-CoA combines with a four-carbon compound, forming a six-carbon compound and releasing CoA. -CO2 (carbon dioxide) is released from the compound, making a five carbon compound. Electrons are transferred to NAD+, making NADH. - CO2 is released from the five-carbon compound, making a four-carbon compound. One molecule of ATP is made, as is a molecule of NADH. -The four-carbon compound is converted into a new four-carbon compound; electrons are transferred to FAD, making FADH2. -The four-carbon compound is converted to the original compound that started the cycle. Another molecule of NADH is produced. Overall, NADH and FADH2 are the electron carriers that have all the high energy electrons, ready to be donated in the next step of cell respiration. 2 ATP molecules are produced, and carbon dioxide was released. Next, the electrons carried by NADH and FADH2 go through something called the electron transport chain; the electrons are donated through a chain, where they lose energy through every molecule it passes through. The energy is used to power hydrogen ions OUT of the mitochondria's inner compartments; this creates a concentration gradient, where the H+ ions diffuse back in. By diffusing back in, the carrier protein that it diffuses through makes ATP. On average, ETC makes 32 ATP. When the electrons are used up, they bind with hydrogen ions and oxygen molecules. This results in water- H2O. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor, and water is a waste product.
Does oxygen and carbon dioxide bind to different parts of hemoglobin?
yes
For what purpose do plants acquire carbon dioxide?
to bind it into sugars that store energy
What small molecules bind to hemoglobin?
Carbon dioxide and BPG bind to amino acids located on hemoglobin. Oxygen molecules bind to the iron molecules located in the heme. Each hemoglobin molecule can carry up to four oxygen molecules, one on each of the four iron molecules. Nitric oxide can also bind to hemoglobin when either oxygen or carbon dioxide are bound to the hemoglobin.
Does CO2 bind at the same site on the hemoglobin molecule as O2 If not where does CO2 bind?
No. Carbon monoxide binds to the same site as oxygen, i.e. the central iron. Carbon dioxide binds to the globin molecule.
Do the ashes from charcoal have a greater mass than when there whole?
No. The ashes have less mass. Mass is "lost" through carbon particles that bind with oxygen to form carbon dioxide gas.
What gas in used in lemonade?
I'm not sure about lemonade, but carbon dioxide is added to make soda fizzy. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a gas that can bind to water (H2O) molecules when it dissolves to form H2CO3, which is a weak acid known as Carbonic Acid.
Does carbon monoxide bind to hemoglobin or oxygen better?
Carbon monoxide bind easily to hemoglobin.
What can carbon bind with?
Hydrogen.
What jobs do the Red Blood Cells do?
The red blood cells carry oxygen that is transported to the different organs in the body and absorbs carbon dioxide from the organs that is transported to the lungs where it is exhaled out of the body. The protein hemoglobin helps to bind oxygen and carbon dioxide in the red blood cells.

How does hemoglobin help with carbon dioxide transport?
No... haemoglobin does not transport carbon dioxide...coz it is our waste which we breathe out....we only take oxygen and after combining with haemoglobin it becomes oxyhaemoglobin.....but if we breathe in pollution for long..... it forms carboxyhaemoglobin.... and it's very harmful to us.
What does hemogoblin bind easily to?
Carbon monoxide and oxygen.
