Carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced during respiration by all animals, fungi and microorganisms that depend either directly or indirectly on plants for food. It is thus a major component of the carbon cycle. When you breathe in oxygen (O) from the air around you, it travels through your body and is converted to carbon dioxide (CO2). This happens by the time you exhale. It is thus a product of metabolism of hydrocarbons plus oxygen by many organisms on earth including humans.
Carbon dioxide is generated as a by-product of the combustion of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) or the burning of vegetable matter, among other chemical processes. Carbon dioxide is the exhaust compound produced when carbon (or a hydrocarbon) burns and combines with oxygen.
Small amounts of carbon dioxide are emitted from volcanoes and other geothermal processes such as hot springs and geysers and by the dissolution of carbonates in crustal rocks. In the early days of earth's prehistory, much of the CO2 was probably derived from volcanoes which spewed out huge quantities of gases and minerals into the atmosphere.
CO2 is a greenhouse gas that, when in excess in the atmosphere, contributes to global warming. It is essential that we take urgent steps to reduce CO2 emissions.
All plants derive the carbon that they need from atmospheric CO2. Without atmospheric CO2, there would be no trees, grasses or vegetables. So vegetation, especially large forests, are very important for removing carbon from the atmosphere.

∙ 12y agoit comes from carbon oxidizing through fire.
It also comes from a lot of other places. Carbon dioxide is a waste product of cellular respiration. It diffuses into the blood from the cells and travels to the lung where it is exhaled into the air.

Why do bubbles come out when you mix carbon dioxide and limewater?
Whenever there is a gas present you will see bubbles the limewater test is to see if there is carbon dioxide present
When carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide carbon dioxide is?
When carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide is the product of the reaction.
When a carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide carbon dioxide is the?
Carbon dioxide is the product; oxygen and carbon are the reactants.
How many moles of carbon dioxide are there in 19 grams of carbon dioxide?
Moles of carbon dioxide = grams/amu of carbon dioxide. Moles = 19g/44amu Moles of carbon dioxide = .432
When you exhale do you breathe out carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide?
of course we breathe out carbon dioxide not carbon monoxide
Does carbon dioxide come from water?
Carbon Dioxide is the air we breathe out. :)
Can carbon dioxide come from fire?
Yes. Burning carbon or a carbon compound will produce carbon dioxide.
Where do the carbon atoms come from to produce the certain sugar for photosynthesis?
From the animals around it breathing oxygen and converting it to carbon dioxide.
When hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium nitrate is carbon dioxide evolved?
No. Where would the carbon in the carbon dioxide come from?
Does carbon dioxide come from sunlight?
No ,
Where does the carbon come from that plants use to carbon dioxide?
From carbohydrates
Where does carbon dioxide primarily come from?
oceans
Where does the carbon come from that plants used to produce carbon dioxide?
From carbohydrates
Where does carbon dioxide come from in water?
water does not have carbon di oxide in it
Where does the carbon come from that plants use to produce carbon dioxide?
The carbon in plants come from the carbon found in carbon dioxide (CO2). As plants undergo photosynthesis they draw in water through their roots and carbon dioxide from the air through specialized structures called stomates. So the inorganic carbon in carbon dioxide becomes organic carbon making up the oils, carbohydrates and proteins found in plants.
WHAT FORMS the holes in Swiss cheese?
where does the carbon dioxide come from? wrong answer - bacteria causes fermentation which in turn releases carbon dioxide - plc. pch answer - carbon dioxide - plc.
Where does the carbon dioxide come from in cellular respiration?
The breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide and water occurs during glycolysis and aerobic respiration in cellular respiration. The carbon dioxide is a waste product.
