Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas, because it replaces the oxygen gas (O2) in your lungs and blood when inhaled. Without oxygen for aerobic cellular respiration, the cells in your body make less energy and eventuallly die, since all organisms (living things) need energy to live.
Mammals (including humans) depend on oxygen gas for their vital energy.
What else can I help you with?
How does carbon get from living thing and into the atmosphere?
When living organisms die, they decompose, releasing carbon into the soil and air. Additionally, during respiration, organisms release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Human activities like burning fossil fuels also contribute to the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
What would happen if you breathed in too much carbon dioxide?
Air contains oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and other compounds. We take carbon dioxide into our lungs all the time, but our lungs keep the oxygen. However, if you were in a room with ONLY carbon dioxide, you would die--not from carbon dioxide per se, but from lack of oxygen.
Does carbon dioxide damage the air?
yes and no in large very large amounts it can hold heat and that cause global warming along with greenhouse gasses also it can damage you if you breath in too much but if we don't have carbon dioxide in the air, then all the trees will die, and since trees give us oxygen, if they die we won't have any, and we will die
Why is carbon dioxide important to people?
Carbon dioxide is important to people as it plays a crucial role in the process of photosynthesis, which is how plants produce oxygen and carbohydrates. It is also a major greenhouse gas, helping to regulate Earth's temperature. However, too much carbon dioxide emissions from human activities can contribute to climate change, which has negative impacts on the environment and human health.
When plants die or are burned what gas is released and returned to the atmosphere?
When plants die or are burned, they release carbon dioxide gas back into the atmosphere. This process is known as respiration or combustion, and it is a part of the carbon cycle.
Where you get oxygen?
trees breathe out oxygen we breathe out carbon dioxide and trees breathe in carbon dioxide SAVE THE RAINFORESTS OR WE'LL DIE!!
Why do dolphins breathe?
All animals breathe one way or another, to get oxygen carbon dioxide out. It's that or die.
Why do whales have blood that can hold a lot of carbon dioxide?
well they take a huge breathe, then hang out under water for a while. Carbon dioxide is what Mammals breathe out after taking in oxygen. hence if they could not hold alot of carbon dioxide... they would probably die.
When do animals give off carbon dioxide?
When they breathe out. Also after they die, during decomposition.
What will happen if the supply of carbon dioxide is permamently cut off?
Plants "breathe" carbon dioxide. They use it in photosynthesis. If carbon dioxide was completely wiped out, plants would die. During photosynthesis, plants turn carbon dioxide into oxygen, which we humans breathe. Once the plants die, humans would also die from lack of oxygen. Carbon dioxide is not something we should try to get rid of completely. The bulk of the carbon dioxide is created by nature. Man produces 3 to 6% of the CO2, the rest is natural.
How does a plant help a person?
PLants help people many ways. they breathe in carbon dioxide, which is what we breathe out. they breathe out oxygen, which is what we breathe in. without plants, we'd die from suffocation.
How can carbon help in growing of the plants?
Plants breathe in carbon dioxide (CO2) and give off oxygen. Without CO2 they will die.
On the nutrition label for Poland Spring sparkling water it has CO2 carbon dioxide how can humans get an intake on that if that's what you can die from and what we breathe out?
Carbon monoxide is what people die from, Carbon dioxide is used to produce the bubbles in sodas and sparkling waters.
What are 3 reasons you need plants?
One reason is cuz u need it to breathe its photosythesis. We breathe out carbon dioxide plants breathe that in and breathe out oxygen which we breathe in. Without plants we would die.
WOuld anybody be able to breathe if they were on fire?
Yes, but you would die for sure. The combustion reaction would take all the oxigen and you will breathe carbon dioxide/carbon monoxide and that would kill you.
How do fish breathe in and breathe out?
Yes they do. Its part of the carbon cycle. When plants give off carbon dioxide, animals breath it in, when they die, scavengers eat them then decomposer breaks the dead carcasses back into the basic materials.
Do plants give animals carbon dioxide?
well on plants they die and shrivel up like a rasin. then on animals they just cant breathe.
