What long term effects does not having enough carbon dioxide have on the body?
When the body doesn't have enough carbon dioxide in the blood, blood vessels will constrict. This is a long-term effect of having low levels of carbon dioxide.
How is the movement of oxygen in the body similar to and different to the movement of carbon dioxide?
So the movement of oxygen in the body is different to the movement of carbon dioxide as while oxygen enters the red blood cells during this movement the carbon dioxide stays out. It stays in the plasma. Also for the movement of carbon dioxide to happen oxygen is needed. Its a product of aerobic respiration. The movement of oxygen in the body is similar to the movement of carbon dioxide as both processes require respiration and pass through the walls of the capillaries.
How does an alligator contribute to the carbon cycle?
When an alligator eats, it consumes some carbon. Some of this stays in its body making it bigger. When food passes out as waste, it also contains carbon, and when the droppings decompose, carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere. When an alligator breathes it breathes out carbon dioxide. These are all parts of the carbon cycle.
What is the human body mostly made of a carbon oxygen nitrogen and hydrogen b oxygen calcium carbon and hydrogen c hydrogen iron nitrogen and oxygen?
The human body is made up of only mostly carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. The top four elements are oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, so that would be a. on your list.
Why does your body make more carbon dioxide when you run than when you sit down?
Carbon dioxide is the end product of the oxidation of carbohydrates, fats, etc., ie food. When you are using your muscles you are using more energy so you turn more "food" into carbon dioxide, which leaves your body through your lungs.
What is a carbon deficiency on the human body?
carbon solutions in your body means that there is carbon in your body
Does carbon dating measure a 7000 year old body?
Yes, it is possible.
How does the body acquire carbon?
Carbon is the second most abundant atom in the body (the first is oxygen). All organic things are comprised of carbon. Now, taking as true the old maxim that matter cannot be created or destroyed, it follows that the body's primary source of carbon is food - after all, that's the only major organic matter entering the body. Since all organic (i.e. living) things are comprised of carbon, and our food is all from living matter (unless you happen to eat rocks, which I doubt), this means that our meals provide more or less all of our carbon intake.
How is carbon dioxide formed inside the body?
Carbon dioxide is created when oxygen and carbon are combined. The respiratory system allows oxygen to be taken into the body while allowing the body to push out (or exhale) the carbon dioxide.
Can carbon be found in the human body?
It can be but it can not be pure carbon

Why is carbon -14 dating useless for dating old coins but not old pieces of cloth?

When you exhale what gas does your body get rid off?
When you breathe out, your body gets rid of Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
Exhalation removes what from the body.?
Carbon DioxideExcess carbon dioxide
Does the human body create carbon dioxide?
YES!!! You inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.
Oxygen and carbon make up what percentage of elements in the human body?
Approximately 83% of the human body is either oxygen or carbon. About 18% percent of the human body is carbon and around 65% is oxygen.
Why do you have carbon in your body?
I don't.
