Why does breathing into a paper bag decrease rate of respiration?

B/C people who do this are hyperventilating and expelling too much Carbon Dioxide from their blood. Breathing into a paper bag helps them HYPOventilate to the point where they're calmed. You exhale 17% oxygen, 4% carbon dioxide, 89% nitrogen. The CO2 helps slow the breathing by balancing the right amount of CO2 back into the blood.

Can holding your breath decrease respiration rate?
Respiration rate is the number of breaths in a minute. If you hold your breath for a minute the respiratory rate will be zero so yes
How are eating and breathing related to cellular respiration?
breathing and respiration both use energy. respiration releases and your breathing rate uses up energy! eating- i don't know the answer to sorry! good luck finding a answer and hope i helped:)
Why does the amount of oxygen in the blood decrease when sleeping?
Indirectly, the amount of oxygen decreases because your breathing rate declines.
What is the breathing rate determined by the level of something in the blood?
The breathing rate is determined by the level of the carbon bi oxide. The increase in the concentration, increase the breathing rate. The decrease in the oxygen concentration should do the same thing. But the oxygen is poorly soluble. So it can not affect the breathing centre like the carbon bi oxide. The carbon bi oxide is highly soluble and it also alters the pH of the blood.
The breathing center in the brain is most sensitive to the?
levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. When carbon dioxide levels rise, the breathing center stimulates the muscles of respiration to increase breathing rate and depth. This helps to eliminate excess carbon dioxide and restore a balance in blood gas levels.
Does temperature affect breathing of chick peas?
You probably mean "respiration" instead of "breathing". Chick peas don't breath. Increasing the temperature increases the respiration rate and decreasing temperatures decrease the respiration rate.
What is a hypothesis for this science fair question what effect does exercise have on your breathing rate?
If I exersize it will increase/decrease my breathing rate because....(why you think it will increase or decrease your breathing rate)
What are the 2 connections between respiration rate and pulse rate?
The respiration rate is your breathing rate and your pulse rate is your heart beat.
Does gender affect cellular respiration?
No. What you may be thinking of is aerobic respiration (normal breathing), for which the breathing rate (as well as heart rate) is typically a bit slower in men.
What is the rate of respiration in running?
when running your breathing rate becomes very fast
An abnormal decrease in the depth and rate of respiration is termed?
Hpopnea
What is a dependent variable for breathing rate of goldfish in cold water?
its the respiration rate of the goldfish.
Does breathing into a paper bag increase a person's breathing rate?
yes
Can holding your breath decrease respiration rate?
Respiration rate is the number of breaths in a minute. If you hold your breath for a minute the respiratory rate will be zero so yes
How is the rate of respiration related to the amount of co2 in the blood?
Carbon bi oxide is powerful stimulant for the respiration. Increase in carbon bi oxide increase the rate of respiration. Decrease in carbon bi oxide decease the rate of respiration.
How does the respiration rate for exercise compare to the respiration rate for resting?
your respiration rate will increase with exercise as your body needs more oxygen. At rest it will decrease as you don't need so much oxygen when your sleeping.
Does breathing rate increase or decrease when arterial PCO2 increases?
increases
