What happens to oxygen after it has been used by your body?
The oxygen goes into your lungs, then into your blood stream. Then carbon dioxide goes into your lungs and thats when you exhale. Oxygen changes to carbondioxide in your body.
How does carbon dioxide enter the cell?
as the blood in your body travels around it collects carbon dioxide molecules and carries them through your blood stream back to the lungs the the molecules are then passed to the alveoli and are expelled from the body during respiration the carbon dioxide free blood then travels back to the heart to be pumped around the body to continue the cycle constantly.
What is the poisonous colorless odorless gas that is found in cigarette smoke?
Tobacco smoke (primary or side stream) contains over 400 components. Some of the odourless (or nearly so) are: * PAHs * Carbon Monoxide * Carbon dioxide * Methane * Propane * Glycols * Nicotine * Benzo(a)pyrene * Tars * Radiactive materials
What is the force that carves out underground caves from limestone?
Not really a "force", more a process. Chemical weathering primarily. Some mechanical weathering and erosion in active stream passages once these have been enlarged enough to carry large volumes of water. Rainwater acidified by absorbed atmospheric carbon dioxide sinks through the joints and other discontinuities in the limestone upland's mass, dissolving the calcium carbonate that is the rock's main constituent. BTW you don't need the adjective. Caves are always underground!
Why is a resurgent stream only formed in a limestone area?
A resurgent stream is formed when an underground river is forced to reappear when it reaches a layer of impermeable bedrock. For a river to become an underground river in the first place it must flow over an area of limestone rock. The mildly acidified river water (it is acidified by dissolved carbon dioxide which is present in rainwater) reacts with the limestone (which is 80% calcium carbonate) and dissolves it. This forms a swallow hole into which the river flows. The river then continues to chemically weather the limestone underground thus forming an underground river. The river is forced to reappear (in the form of a resurgent stream) on the surface when there is a change of rock type from permeable limestone to impermeable bedrock. Hence resurgent streams are typically only found in limestone areas.
How carbon dioxide get out your body?
carbon dioxide is expelled from cells into the blood stream, carried to the lungs, and exhaled.
Does your body need carbon dioxide to use the nutrients in the food you eat?
No. Carbon Dioxide is a waste gas and is removed from the blood stream.
The gas that goes into the blood stream through the blood is?
Oxygen is brought into the blood stream by inhalation. Carbon dioxide moves out of the cells, into the blood, and taken to the lungs to be exhaled. Oxygen in, carbon dioxide out.
What activities would NOT increase carbon dioxide in the bloodstream?
All activities release carbon dioxide in the blood stream. As long as you are alive, your cells will continue to produce carbon dioxide. Even resting or sleeping will not stop it.
What substance is removed from the blood stream by the alveoli in the lungs?
Carbon dioxide and water
What substance is removed from the blood stream by alveoli in the lungs?
Carbon dioxide and water
Why does oxygen and carbon dioxide move from the alveoli into the blood stream?
To Filter the blood
Why does exhalation occur in the human body?
To remove Carbon Dioxide which is dissolved in our blood stream. Dissolved Carbon Dioxide forms Carbonic Acid which is toxic to us.
What is the one use of iron?
To carry oxygen and carbon dioxide through the blood stream.
What is the use the use of ironing?
To carry oxygen and carbon dioxide through the blood stream.
What waste products reenter the blood stream from the reaction of cellular respiration?
Carbon dioxide and water.
How does carbon get back into the air from the food you eat?
when your food is converted into energy carbon dioxide is added to the blood stream and from there is exhaled out. i.e. when you breathe, oxygen in- carbon out
