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.

Does carbon dioxide react with iodine solution?
I'd say NO: I never would expect it, nor having heard of and can't think why it could be yes.
Does the definition of a pollutant include substances such as water oxygen and carbon-dioxide which are needed for life on earth but in strong doses are toxic?
The difference among the substances you describe is a matter of degrees. Oxygen and water are not naturally present in the environment in magnitudes that would be toxic. I know you probably heard that they are toxic in large doses, which they are, but they would have to be extraordinarily large doses. You would experience physical pain before you experienced water toxicity. Similarly, oxygen is not present in air in high enough concentrations to be toxic. Similar to oxygen, carbon dioxide is not present in high enough concentrations to be directly toxic to organisms. However, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been artificially increased by human activities and these concentrations are having an adverse impact on the environment. And that is the reason it is a pollutant. So in answer to your question, the definition could include these types of substances, but it is a matter of magnitude. Just because carbon dioxide is naturally occurring does not mean it is not a pollutant.
What negative effects do carbon dioxide have on the environment?
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas Due to human activities such as the combustion of fossil fuels and deforestation, and the increased release of CO2 from the oceans due to the increase in the Earth's temperature, the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased by about 35% since the beginning of the age of industrialization. There is about 50 times as much carbon dissolved in the oceans in the form of CO2 and CO2 hydration products as exists in the atmosphere. The oceans act as an enormous carbon sink, having "absorbed about one-third of all human-generated CO2 emissions to date." Generally, gas solubility decreases as water temperature increases. Accordingly carbon dioxide is released from ocean water into the atmosphere as ocean temperatures rise. Most of the CO2 taken up by the ocean forms carbonic acid. Some is consumed in photosynthesis by organisms in the water, and a small proportion of that sinks and leaves the carbon cycle. There is considerable concern that as a result of increased CO2 in the atmosphere the acidity of seawater will increase and may adversely affect organisms living in the water. In particular, with increasing acidity, the availability of carbonates for forming shells decreases.
How does planting trees minimize global warming?
Trees use the carbon dioxide in the air to grow. And that reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, which reduces the green house effect. They need Carbon Dioxide in order to photosynthesize. Since CO2 is the leading contributor to global warming, having the trees take it out of the atmosphere to be converted into oxygen, slows the process somewhat.
Which molecule contributes to the greenhouse effect?
CO2 Methane
What is the problem with having to much carbon dioxide in the lunar module?
not enough oxygen, you could die by suffocating
Is carbon dioxide a carbon?
yes. Carbon dioxide, CO2, is an example of a triatomic (having three atoms) molecule.
Is carbon dioxide a moelcule?
yes. Carbon dioxide, CO2, is an example of a triatomic (having three atoms) molecule.
What do you have to do to get more carbon dioxide to a plant?
Assuming that the plant has enough sunlight and is only being limited by low carbon dioxide, you can increase the local partial pressure of the gas, typically by having a number of people stand around and exhale toward it. Greenhouses have lower levels of carbon dioxide than outside air, but usually more than enough for the plants to perform photosynthesis.
How does cellular respiration effect carbon and oxygen in the atmosphere?
Cellular respiration uses oxygen and generates carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and generates oxygen.
Having one mole of carbon dioxide means that you have?
1 molecule of co2
How are leaves adapted to absorb carbon-dioxide?
Leaves are adapted to absoring starch by having a layer at the bottom of the leaf called the stoma which is where carbon dioxide is absorbed and oxygen is released
What are the bad things about having a car?
It releses carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that not good to breathe in.
What is one key result of having carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere?
Warming of the surface.
Name a non-polar covalent molecule having polar bonds?
carbon dioxide
WHY breads are having holes in them?
Breads have holes in them because they emit carbon dioxide in the bread. The carbon dioxide expands more than the air and water in the bread, thus making large holes.
What is in fizzy drinks?
Any soft drink having carbon dioxide in it is called a fizzy drink.
