How does carbon dioxide increase breathing rate?
First you have to know first about inhalation and expiration Inhalation : We take oxygen from outside into our body Expiration : We release carbon dioxide from our body We need oxygen to burn our food an make energy, that is why we inhale it. Now, where does CO2 (carbon dioxide) comes from? because we only inhale oxygen, right? The food that we eat is burnt by oxygen to produce energy and CO2. The CO2 is dangerous for our body and hence should be taken away from our body. This is why if there is less oxygen and more carbon dioxide in the air, we tend to exhale faster. And because there is less oxygen, the body wants us to inhale faster to get more oxygen. Hence, the faster breathing.
What gas is needed to stay alive?
The gas you need to stay alive is Oxygen, you need oxygen to carry vital functions of body, when you inhale oxygen, its goes directly into the lungs and through alveolis, which are present in lungs oxygen get absorbed into blood which is then taken to heart and heart pumps the blood to each and every part and organ of the body, so like this your body works.
What occurs if the oxygen flow to the body is inadequate?
If this process is inadequate, oxygen levels in the blood decrease, and the patient may need supplemental oxygen.
Do most living things need oxygen to change food into energy?
yes this is true
Is it true most living things need oxygen to change food into energy?
ol
Could your body use food if you could not get oxygen?
Without oxygen, your body will die. If you die, you have no need for food. Food does not contain oxygen that could be used in this case.
What does the body cell need to function?
food, water, and oxygen
What must a human body do to get energy from food?
What must the human body need to get energy from food is to use oxygen to produce ATP which will fuel the cells.
What does oxygen do in your body apart from breathing?
Your cells need oxygen to turn food into energy, reproduce, and basically perform all of their tasks.
Can you live with hydrogen and oxygen instead of H2O?
No, you would need energy to combine hydrogen and oxygen into H2O
Why do cells need food and oxygen?
Food serves as a source of raw materials from which the cells of the body can synthesize new molecules, provides living things with the chemical building blocks they need to grow and reproduce, and as a source of energy. Oxygen is used to break down glucose in the process of cellular respiration. Food and oxygen is how cells get their energy. When the nutrients combine with oxygen, energy is released. The process is similar to burning or how a car engine gets its energy. There is a chemical reaction which releases energy.
For what does your body need iron providing food?
Iron is an important component for the parts of our blood that transports oxygen.
What does the body need to survive?
The essential things a human needs to stay alive are water, food and oxygen.
How does oxygen contaminate foods?
You need to give more information wether you want to know that does oxygen is required in cooking food? or is oxygen present in food and used by body? Answer to 1st: Yes oxygen required to cook food. Combustion of fuel takes place in presence of oxygen. Answer to 2nd: Yes food contain some of oxygen from air but there is no consumption of oxygen from food.
Does a growing embryo need food and oxygen?
A living anything needs food and lots of living things need oxygen. So, yes, embryos need food and oxygen too.
Does everything in your body need air?
its not so much the air that you need. but you do need something that is in it. oxygen is like a food for cells. the blood carys the oxygen around the body. there is also carbon dioxide (C02) in air. and that's what you breath out.but not everything, but most things.
Why does your body have to digest food?
The food that we eat it in complex forms. Hence we need to break down the complex nutrients to simpler ones so that they can be absorbed by our body. Finally this stored food reacts with oxygen to provide energy.
