The rate and depth of ventilation will increase, and if the carbon dioxide level gets high enough, it will cause a person to yawn!


Is sun spot cycles or carbon dioxide in the atmosphere more important for global warming?

Carbon dioxide. The increase of carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming.


What is the most important chemical stimuli leading to increased rate of breath?

An increase in carbon dioxide in the blood is the most important chemical stimulus to cause breathing, even more than oxygen concentration.


What has caused Carbon Dioxide levels to steadily increase since the 1800s?

The burning of fossil fuels (coal & oil) is the primary cause of the increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.


What is the increase of carbon dioxide in the air?

The primary hazard is from making the blood become more acidic. The normal blood pH is very important for health and disturbing it can lead to death. The buildup of CO2 in the blood is called "acidosis".


An increase in breathing rate can be triggered by an increase in the?

What would happen if the carbon dioxide in blood reactants with water to form carbonic acid was not catalyzed?

it will cause a differed chemical reaction due to how much of the carbon dioxide is exposed to the blood.


An increase in what gas would cause the most greenhouse warming of the atmosphere?

Can an increase in carbon dioxide might cause global warming because more carbon dioxide would be able to trap more heat?

An increase in carbon dioxide worldwide than yes it would cause global warming based on the greenhouse effect, as more carbon dioxide would build up in our atmosphere trapping more heat, raising the earth's temperature and therefore causing global warming.


What is the problem with a small increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere?

A small amount of carbon dioxide is all it takes to keep the earth comfortably warm for millions of years. A small increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is all it takes to cause global warming and threaten the future of the human race.


Does increase in blood co2 increase or decrease respiratory rate?

When your oxygen levels go up and carbon dioxide levels in the body go down this will cause your heart rate to speed up. This is caused by the blood vessels opening and the heart working harder to pump the blood.
