As they breathe it out naturally they will breathe some back in. So the answer is no if in small doses

How is oxygen and carbon dioxide released from blood?
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, so I'll answer this two ways. oxygen is used in our bodies at a cellular level. It is used and carbon dioxide is a byproduct of its function. Oxygen is carried in the blood stream on your red blood cells on a transport car called hemoglobin. This allows for the oxygen to get to the cells that need it. When the carbon dioxide is produced, it is released into the blood stream. Our bodies know when there is more carbon dioxide because it is acidic in the blood, allowing for our body to increase our respirations and breathe off the carbon dioxide (co2)---for our bodies to do this, this of veins as walls of a house, and the walls keep in the CO2. On the outside of the house is the air, like our lungs, so a door needs to be opened to allow the CO2 to be transferred across. There are tiny little spaces between each cell we have, and the ones in the lungs allow for oxygen and carbon dioxide to cross (the doorways). When we're sick with a bad cough, with a chest infection, the doorways can be plugged with the mucous and cause problems with how the oxygen and c02 cross from the blood to the lungs, and the feeling that we cannot breath. (this on top of a few other things) Hope that made sense!
Where do plants get there glucose from?
Glucose is a product of photosynthesis:Carbon dioxide + Water = Glucose + OxygenThe carbon dioxide travels through the stoma at the bottom of the leaf.The water comes through the rootsThe light energy, which the chloroplast creates turns the carbon dioxide and the water into glucose, which the plant keeps for energy and then releases the oxygen for humans to breathe in.
What organ exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide?
It is exchanged in the same place as the mother. Carbon dioxide is exchanged in the lungs. The fetal blood is cared for in the body by the umbilical cord and the blood is filtered by the mothers organs and her lungs. Such is a strong reason never to smoke, drink or do drugs during pregnancy. Cord blood is extremely rich and full of good things for the child later in life if he or she gets sick. That is why you see ads on television for Cord Banks now.
Why shouldn't you open a petri dish containing harmless bacteria?
they form aerosols, which you can breathe and get sick
Would you get sick if you ate the purple lilac?
Lilacs blooms are not toxic at all. Neither humans or animals would get sick if they ate purple lilac blooms.
Can carbon dioxide make people sick?
Carbon dioxide is a waste product breathed out by living animals. Excessive intake of carbon dioxide can lead to carbon dioxide poisoning.
Why are plants considered as independent living?
Plants need food and water , and they breathe carbon dioxide, and give out oxygen. They get sick, wither and die like man.
What are the waste products that are released by the lungs?
The biggest is Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Of course, if a person were sick, they would also expel mucous etc, but exhaled air is rich in CO2 which is a waste product of cellular respiration during the production of ATP (glycolysis/Krebs).
Why do you give off wastes?
Because as we move and grow, this uses fuel which invariably creates waste. If we didn't release the wastes, they'd accumulate in our bodies and we'd get very sick and die. For example, we breathe to take in oxygen, which is essential for 'cellular respiration' which creates the energy our cells need to function. The corresponding waste product of this is carbon dioxide, which travels back to the lungs and we breathe it out. Then we can breathe in more oxygen, and the cycle repeats.
How does the body get rid of Carbon Dioxide?
The body gets rid of carbon dioxide because it is a waste product, and like every other waste product, it has to come out or you will get sick, or in this case, die. Specifically, carbon dioxide within the plasma exchanges acts to make the body more acidic and the change in pH affects the ability of enzymes to function properly. The pH is therefore tightly controlled.
Does chlorine dioxide kill pathogens in humans?
chlorine dioxide does kill pathogens in the body and is extremely effective but it is not a naturally occurring element so I would question it but not disregard it if I was extremely sick in any way.
Can inhaling your own carbon dioxide make you sick?
It doesnt sound safe! No as there is always a certain amount in the air, however if you inhale nothing but that, you would suffocate.
Why is it better to breathe your nose?
you can get sick if you do from the mouth
What are the effects of carbon?
On the human body. You get sick and can't breath because it overpowers the oxygen.On the earth. Enough carbon dioxide keeps the earth warm enough for life.Too much is causing global warming and climate change.
Explain why clean air is important?
We need to prevent air pollution so that we would not be sick, and so that we would not have health problems and we could save money. Another big problem with air pollution is carbon dioxide which is causing global warming. Factories and power plants have to pay fees for air pollution. This will encourage them to be cleaner and greener.
Why is it bad to pollute the air?
WE BREATHE the air. If we pollute it, we need air, so we breathe it in and get sick.
