Carbon dioxide or C02 is present in the atmosphere at all times about 0.33% of air consists of CO2. When it is breathed in a at this level there are negligible effects. However as oxygen is being used frequently to convert sugars into energy, co2 is released. This release of co2 diffuse into blood and move around the body and diffuses out of the blood into the lungs where it is exhaled. The co2 within the body raises the acidity of the blood, this increase of hydrogen ions creates the stimulation for exhalation. Hence why your breathing increase upon vigorous exercise as our body tries to remove co2 and take up more oxygen.
In higher concentrations co2 is poisonous due to the lack for oxygen within the surrounding air.

Where does the carbon dioxide go once your body gets rid of it?
Out of your body into the surrounding atmosphere.
When you exhale what gas does your body get rid off?
When you breathe out, your body gets rid of Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
What brings air into the body and removes carbon dioxide?
Carbon Dioxide
Is carbon dioxide produced in your body?
Yes. Carbon dioxide is one of the products of cellular respiration
What carries carbon dioxide wastes away from the cells of the body?
Red blood cells carry most carbon dioxide wastes away from the cells of the body.
Where does the carbon dioxide go once your body gets rid of it?
Out of your body into the surrounding atmosphere.
When you exhale what gas does your body get rid off?
When you breathe out, your body gets rid of Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
When you excise your body need more carbon dioxide?
carbon dioxide
How is carbon dioxide formed inside the body?
Carbon dioxide is created when oxygen and carbon are combined. The respiratory system allows oxygen to be taken into the body while allowing the body to push out (or exhale) the carbon dioxide.
Does the human body create carbon dioxide?
YES!!! You inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.
Does Ammonia escape your body and go into the air?
no..ammonia reacts with carbon dioxide to form urea in our body
What brings air into the body and removes carbon dioxide?
Carbon Dioxide
Is carbon dioxide a waste product?
Carbon dioxide is a waste product to humans and animals. Trees "breath" carbon dioxide and oxygen is their waste product (during daytime). Animals and humans breath oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide. When our cells circulate, they go through the pulmonary artery to the lungs and collect oxygen. They then go back through the heart and out into the rest of our body. Cells bring oxygen to the parts of our body that need it. Their waste is carbon dioxide which is exhaled.
What caarries carbon dioxide from the body?
your red blood cells carry oxygen into your body and takes carbon dioxide out
What is one similarity of oxygen and carbon dioxide?
not to sure?? both go through our body! not to sure?? both go through our body!
Why you breathe out carbon dioxide?
We breathe out carbon-dioxide because high levels of carbon-dioxide in the body can be toxic By Akhilesh Sharma
Which organ in the body gets rid of carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is expelled from our lungs.
