The percentage of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is so lhigh because we have been burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) since the Industrial Revolution, 200 years ago. The percentage now (2013) is 0.04%, up from 0.028% then.

Why might blood carbon dioxide levels be higher in an individual with pulmonary disease when compared to the carbon dioxide levels of a healthy person?
When you have pulmonary disease, you may fail to give out carbon dioxide. So the percentage of carbon dioxide increase in your blood. That is the indicator of the severity of the pulmonary disease.
Why is the percentage of carbon dioxide in the air so low when so much is given off through burning fossil fuels?
Don't concentrate on how carbon dioxide competes with other gases such as Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Argon in the total percentages but rather the change in the percentage of carbon dioxide in the air over time. It is generally agreed that carbon dioxide levels are higher now than ever before due to fossil fuels.
How does carbon dioxide and water moves in out of a cell?
The carbon dioxide will move in because if the amount of carbon dioxide fluid is greater outside the cell then the carbon dioxide will diffuse in so that the amount of carbon dioxide inside and outside of the cell will be an equillibrium
What substance is removed from the atmosphere so that plants can carry out photosynthesis?
That is carbon dioxide. It is a raw material
What does carbon dioxide do to the Venus's atmosphere?
Just as the earth has naturally-occurring carbon dioxide in its atmosphere, so also does the planet Venus have naturally-occurring carbon dioxide in its atmosphere. Because the concentration of carbon dioxide is so high in the Venetian atmosphere, it has a more considerable greenhouse effect.

Why does the percentage of carbon dioxide not vary from 0.03?
The percentage of carbon dioxide is increasing. It was 0.28% before the Industrial Revolution, 200 years ago, when we began burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). It is now (2013) 0.04%, so it is certainly increasing.
Does sugar have carbon dioxide?
It is said that salt is in sand so it does not have carbon-dioxide

What planet has a dens e carbon dioxide atmosphere and high temperatures?
That would be Venus. Its dense carbon dioxide atmosphere traps heat using the "greenhouse effect", making the temperatures so high that the surface of the planet is soft and melted.
To which organ of the body does the blood carry carbon dioxide from the cells so that it can be excreted?
LungsInvest High School

That is carbon dioxide. It is a raw material
Is freezing carbon dioxide a chemical change or physical change?
Frozen carbon dioxide is still carbon dioxide, so it is a physical change.
Is a carbon dioxide a electolyte?
carbon dioxide will keep you alive but will not quench your thirst so no it is not.

Does carbon dioxide smell like rotten eggs?
Abosolutley Not!! If you would like to test... Smell yourself, you are made of carbon too!!
