After you breathe air IN, your body uses some (but not all) of the oxygen in it.
A lot of that oxygen that your body uses get converted to carbon dioxide, and
it's added to the air that you breathe out. So your exhaled air has a greater
concentration of carbon dioxide than fresh air has.
What else can I help you with?
Is carbon dioxide invisible?
here is a way to find out... breath in, then breath out... do you see anything?... no, the stuff you breath out is carbon dioxide.So the answer is yes... but when you can see your breath sometimes (usually in winter), that is because your breath is warm and the air is cold. Not because the cold makes carbon dioxide visible.
Do humans inhale carbon dioxide?
Humans breathe in whatever happens to be in the air when they breathe in. If there is carbon dioxide then they will breathe it in as well as nitrogen and oxygen. However they only use the oxygen for respiration so they breathe out everything else with extra carbon dioxide.
What does the increase of carbon dioxide in the air mean?
An increase in carbon dioxide in the air contributes to the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change. This can result in rising global temperatures, more extreme weather events, and changes to ecosystems worldwide.
What are the 2 waste products formed by burning fuels?
Two waste products of oxidation's are water and Carbon Dioxide. Water is a waste product is because we take in more then we need. Carbon Dioxide is a waste product because when we breath, we breath in oxygen and we BREATH OUT Carbon Dioxide. To further elaborate on this......basic overview, when cells create energy from the chemical components taken from digestion, they use Oxygen taken in from Restoration and combine its with ATP, by products of this reaction are Energy, Waste, and Carbon Dioxide.
Why does expired air contain more carbon dioxide than inspired air?
I did not quite get this, but if this helps, good. ( this is from my biology book)"Carbon dioxide is made by cells as a waste product of respiration, and is released across the gaseous exchange surface"
Which gas do you add more to the air when you breath?
Carbon dioxide.
Do lions breath in carbon dioxide?
As there is a low level of carbon dioxide in the air that animals (and people) breath, yes every breath taken in breaths in some carbon dioxide.But as carbon dioxide in the blood is transferred to the air in the lungs, increasing the level of carbon dioxide in that air, when they breath out both the carbon dioxide breathed in and the additional carbon dioxide from the blood are breathed out. Thus in balance more carbon dioxide is breathed out than is breathed in.
Why do you breath out more carbon dioxide then you breath in?
You produce carbon dioxide through cellular respiration when you breath in air. Cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide from converting oxygen into it through a long process and also produces energy.
What happens with your breath when you breath out?
carbon dioxide is released into the air.
Do we breath carbon dioxide?
The air you breathe out contains the gas called carbon dioxide
How is the air you breathe in different from the air we breathe out?
The air we breathe in contains more oxygen and less carbon dioxide compared to the air we breathe out. When we exhale, we release carbon dioxide and other waste gases that our body has produced through cellular respiration.
How does breathing?
You don't only "breath in air, and breath out air," You breath in Oxygen and let out Carbon Dioxide. Passes to the diaphragm and the lungs, inhale oxygen, it goes through your body, exhale Carbon Dioxide, From which the body has made when inhaled.
What is a trees job?
to give air that we breath in and keep in carbon dioxide
What air is used to blow a balloon with the mouth?
Carbon dioxide, the air we have in us that we breath out. Carbon dioxide doesn't make the balloon float in the air, while Helium does.
How does plants get the carbon dioxide?
Plants get carbon dioxide from the air we exhale. We breath out carbon dioxide and plants give us oxygen. So when we breath oxygen the air that we exhale is carbon dioxide that goes to plants.
Does all the air in the lungs get change with each breath?
All of the air in the lungs gets exchanged with oxygen upon each breath. We exhale carbon dioxide and inhale oxygen.
Is it true that air breathed out contains more carbon dioxide than air breathed in?
Yes. When you breath, you take in oxygen and breathe out CO2. According to Wiki Answers (see link), an exhaled breath is about 4% CO2. Atmospheric CO2 is between 300 and 400 ppm, or 0.03% to 0.04%.
