Because the human body requires oxygen to live and to repirate (one of the 7 essentials of living - MRS GREN)
In a carbon dioxide molecule, carbon does not take electrons from oxygen. Instead, carbon shares electrons with oxygen through covalent bonds, forming a stable molecule.
Most of our oxygen we breathe has been emitted by plants because instead of breathing oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide, they breathe carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen as a waste product.
Carbon dioxide is highly soluble in water and blood plasma. 900 ml/ liter carbon dioxide is soluble in water as against 4 ml/ liter of Oxygen. So this question would have been about oxygen instead of carbon dioxide.
No. Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound of carbon and oxygen.
Carbon dioxide is a compound consisting of carbon and oxygen.
Carbon dixode (CO2)
carbon dioxide
Carbon is an element, but not carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a compound of carbon and oxygen.
Oxygen-Carbon Dioxide Cycle- a continuous exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide by plants and animals including human
No, plants do not produce carbon dioxide as part of their natural processes. Instead, they absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release oxygen as a byproduct.
Since carbon dioxide is present, the chloroplast will undergo photosynthesis. However, if carbon dioxide level is very low, C3 plants will end up using oxygen instead, which is called photorespiration.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged at the surface of the air sac. Oxygen is taken in from the air into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide is released from the bloodstream into the air to be exhaled.
