What happens to your body when carbon dioxide levels get too high?
Carbon dioxide never "takes over", it is made out of oxygen (and carbon-from sugar and fat)Carbon monoxide displaces oxygen from hemoglobin, reducing the bloods ability to carry O2 ... which can be severe enough to kill.
What living thing takes in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
The process which absorbs carbon dioxide and produces oxygen is photosynthesis.The living things which can carry out photosynthesis are:plantsalgae eg seaweedssome bacteria (cyanobacteria, also called blue-green 'algae')no dats rong no dont listen to this answers ok dumb ....
Does petrol give off carbon dioxide?
No, it is not. Carbon monoxide is produced by the incomplete combustion of petrol in air. Petrol is octane (C8H18), containing no oxygen atoms, whereas carbon monoxide, CO, has an oxygen atom. Complete combustion of octane goes: C8H18 + 12.5(O2 +3.76N2) --> 8CO2 + 9H2O + 47N2 Petrol Air Carbon dioxide Nitrogen Water Thus in a petrol fire with plenty of oxygen, no carbon monoxide is produced. However in a car's cylinder, there is likely to be more fuel and less oxygen than in this idealised combustion situation. There will still be mostly carbon dioxide and water as combustion products, but some of the carbon will partially oxidise carbon to carbon monoxide rather than dioxide. Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas, it is a less immediately dangerous substance than CO, which sticks to your red blood cells tighter than oxygen does - so tightly, in fact, that it won't let go, and the capacity of your blood to carry much-needed oxygen to your cells. Instead of bright red oxyhaemoglobin, CO combines with blood to produce cherry-pink carboxyhaemoglobin. A sign of CO poisoning is a cherry-pink complexion.
Where does the hydrogen in glucose ultimately come from?
All elements were created in the big bang. All the protons and neutrons and electrons joined to form many different stable compounds. Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are some of the most abundant of elements, but like to join onto other elements as well. This means it is very hard to obtain pure hydrogen.
What is so dangerous about carbon monoxide?
It's not that carbon monoxide is toxic, but it bonds with haemoglobin in the blood more readily than oxygen does. If your bloodstream is full of carbon monoxide it can't carry oxygen so you asphyxiate and die.
Erythrocytes transport oxygen and serve to?
It is to carry oxygen from the lungs to tissue around the body.
What are concave disks with a squashed in center that transport oxygen and carry away some carbon dioxide?
the Hemoglobin is a molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide
What are concave disks with a squashed-in center. they transport oxygen and carry away some carbon dioxide?
the Hemoglobin is a molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide
What is a chemical that can carry oxygen and carbon dioxide?
Hemoglobin
What are the functions of red blood cells?
A major function of red blood cells is to carry oxygen to all the tissues from the lungs. They also transport carbon dioxide back out of the body.Red blood cells contain specific proteins (hemoglobins), which bind with the oxygen and the carbon dioxide (not at the same sites), enabling the transport of these gases. Several medical conditions may include a reduced capacity of the red blood cells to carry oxygen.Oxygen bound to the haemoglobin(protein) to form oxyhaemoglobin and transported the target organs. Functions as temperature regulator. Control of erythropoiesis and its destruction.
Red blood cells carry?
Oxygen, carbon dioxide
What caarries carbon dioxide from the body?
your red blood cells carry oxygen into your body and takes carbon dioxide out
What is in blood cells?
They do carry oxygen to the body and brain, and they also carry Carbon Dioxide back to the lungs so the lungs can exhale the Carbon Dioxide.
What carry hemoglobin that binds to oxygen and picks up wastse?
Carbon dioxide and oxygen
What is in red blood cells?
They do carry oxygen to the body and brain, and they also carry Carbon Dioxide back to the lungs so the lungs can exhale the Carbon Dioxide.
What is a substance which allows the red blood cells to carry oxygen and iron?
A red blood cell carries Oxygen and Carbon DIoxide
What are red blood cells responsible for?
Carry oxygen and carbon dioxide.
