It is dangerous to breathe significant amounts of excess carbon dioxide because carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid in the blood. The carbonic acid changes blood pH, which has major effects on biochemical processes.

∙ 13y agoAlthough chemically inert, if it replaced the air we breathe we would all suffocate because it does not have free oxygen molecules. The body cannot deal with oxygen that is bound to anything else. There are some caves, where, if you walk your dog, it will die of suffocation, because the first foot or so above the ground is a "pool" of carbon dioxide (it is heavier than air) which has seeped through the rocks. It is dangerous, because you cannot smell it, you just suddenly pass out.

The major anthropogenic sources of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are?
the burning of fossil fuels
Is global warming caused by an excess of carbon dioxide in the air?
It is ONE of the causes
Which factor would not increase the production of glucose by photosynthesis in plants?
excess carbon dioxide
What waste do cells need to transport out of the cell?
Metabolic toxins, waster products like oxygen for plant cells and carbon dioxide for animal cells. Anything that is in excess
What ways have you added excess carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
Excess, or additional carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere only by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and a very small amount from volcanic activity.All other carbon dioxide moves in and out of the oceans, atmosphere and land as part of the normal carbon cycle, which includes the growing and dying of vegetation.Fossil fuels release carbon dioxide that was taken out of the atmosphere (when the vegetation grew) 300 million years ago, so it is extra.
Forests are useful in removing excess from the air?
carbon dioxide
What are two products formed when lavandulol is burnt in excess oxygen?
Carbon Dioxide & Water, Complete burning with excess of oxygen gives out Carbon Dioxide(CO2) + Water , While incomplete burning with limited amount of oxygen gives out Carbon monoxide (CO) + Water
How combustion of carbon differs in a limited supply of oxygen compared to when oxygen is in excess?
Oxygen in excess: carbon dioxide is obtained.Not sufficient oxygen: carbon monoxide is obtained.
Name the phonomenon caused by an excess of carbon dioxide on earth?
global warming
Is an excess of carbon dioxide in the blood called hypercapnia?
Yes.
What do lungs remove from the blood?
The oxygen cells Actually the carbon dioxide is removed. Oxygen is taken in by the blood and circulated to the rest of the body.
By what process does the ameba get rid of carbon dioxide wastes Excess water?
The ameba gets rid of carbon dioxide and excess water by the process of exocytosis. This is the process by which gases and other wastes leave the cell through the cell membrane.
How does carbon dioxide change the acid-base condition when present in excess?
Carbon dioxide makes conditions more acidic. If moisture is present carbonic acid will form.
What does your lung take out of your blood?
Excess carbon dioxide leaves the blood through the lungs.
