It's not that you produce more carbon dioxide after exercise, it's just that you need more oxygen to make up for the energy you lost DURING the exercise. When you exercise, your body undergoes both aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. During anaerobic respiration, your body creates lactose, so after you exercise, the oxygen that you breathe in goes to turn the lactose ultimately into glucose.

∙ 15y agoWhen we exercise, we need more oxygen to compensate for the increase in activity, which means whatever oxygen taken in, must be matched with the same amount of CO2 exhaled. The oxygen is needed for the cellular respiration, and the CO2 is a by (or waste) product of the cellular respiration. More oxygen involved, more waste produced.

How does muscular activity affect the amount of carbon dioxide produced by a human?
More Exercise=More demand for energy More demand for energy=More Respiration More respiration=More CO2
Formula for carbon dioxide?
The WORD EQUATION FOR CARBON DIOXIDE IS: CARBON + OXYGEN ---> CARBON DIOXIDE. ;)
Do humans inhale carbon dioxide?
Humans breathe in whatever happens to be in the air when they breathe in. If there is carbon dioxide then they will breathe it in as well as nitrogen and oxygen. However they only use the oxygen for respiration so they breathe out everything else with extra carbon dioxide.
What do you use carbon dioxide?
Well I use carbon dioxide in my fire extinguisher. What do you use carbon dioxide, or to put it another way? In what do you use carbon dioxide? Humans breathe out carbon dioxide... Breathing it out is not exactly using it. That would be more like making it.
Is there more nitrogen or carbon dioxide in earth's atmosphere?
There is much more nitrogen in earth's atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Nitrogen forms about 79%, while carbon dioxide makes up about 0.04%.
How does exercise affect the amount of carbon released from the lungs?
Your body is an engine that uses fuel (food) to produce energy for you to do exercise. The fuel contains carbon from the carbohydrates you eat, and the body uses oxygen from the air to do a chemical reaction that combines the carbon with the oxygen to produce energy plus carbon dioxide. If you do exercise, you use more fuel and more oxygen, and you produce more carbon dioxide. The body has sensors that detect excess carbon dioxide in the blood, and they make you breathe faster to get rid of it.
When you exercise why do you respire more?
Your muscles produce a lot more carbon dioxide and you have to remove it from the body. You do this by breathing deeper and faster.
What happens to the respiratory system when exercise takes place?
Your lungs will have to work harder to provide oxygen and also remove carbon dioxide also your muscle cells in the body will use up more and more oxygen and produce more carbon dioxide.
How is the respiratory system affected by exercise in the short term?
The respiratory system is affected by exercise because when doing exercise the muscles need more oxygen and produce more carbon dioxide so the heart has to work quicker and you need to breathe faster and deeper to let the carbon dioxide exit quicker and the oxygen enter and be pumped around quicker.
Does the oxygen burned from fire turn into carbon dioxide?
Not on its own, and it depends on what is burning. A fire can only produce carbon dioxide if the substance burning with the oxygen contains carbon. And even then, if there are other elements, you will get more substances as products. Carbon will produce carbon dioxide and usually some carbon monoxide as well. Hydrogen will produce water vapor. Sulfur will produce sulfur dioxide. Magnesium will produce magnesium oxide.
Do cars or houses produce more carbon dioxide?
Cars produce much more than houses.
Do vegetarians produce most carbon dioxide?
No, meat eaters are responsible for more carbon dioxide than vegetarians. Cattle belch a lot of methane, which is a greenhouse gas more powerful than carbon dioxide.
Do plants need clean air to make oxygen and food?
No they take in the carbon dioxide, to produce oxygen. So they produce more oxygen in dirtier (more air containg carbon dioxide) air.
How does digesting food produce carbon dioxide?
The digesting of food is more likely to cause methane than carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is liberated when dissolved food is used in biological processes at the cellular level as carbon compounds combine with oxygen to produce energy.
What do big engines produce?
they produce more carbon dioxidedont get a 4x4 they produce ten imes more carbon dioxide than an Audi tt sport turbo with a v12 engine
What effect does exercise have on the amount of carbon dioxide released by the blood?
When you exercise the energy demand is higher and so respiration rate is higher. Respiration = Glucose + Oxygen --> Water + Carbon dioxide (+energy). So higher respiration rate, more carbon dioxide
Does plants also change oxygen into carbon dioxide?
Yes, but at night. It make oxygen more than it does carbon dioxide though. ---- Plants, like animals, do have metabolisms by which energy is generated through the oxidation of sugar, which produces carbon dioxide. However, green plants consume much more carbon dioxide, in the process of photosynthesis, than they produce by means of their metabolism, and they produce much more oxygen than they consume.
