Carbon dioxide kills by keeping oxygen-breathing organisms from getting oxygen. The more carbon dioxide there is, the less oxygen can be contained in the air. If the amount of oxygen falls below a critical level, there is no way for the organism to continue to carry out life-sustaining processes, and the organism dies.
What else can I help you with?
What type of gases kill flames?
Carbon Dioxide, or C02
What is the effect of increasing carbon dioxide in the air?
kiira says it may get to the stage where it will kill us:)
What gas is produced by respiration?
Carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct of cellular respiration in organisms, including humans and animals. During respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce energy, water, and carbon dioxide.
What gas is given off by cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide
What is the name of this compound CO 2?
CO2 is the chemical formula of carbon dioxide.
Does carbon dioxide taste of anything?
Tasting carbon dioxide can kill you.
The benefits of using carbon dioxide detectors?
To check if there is too much carbon dioxide in a given area because it can kill you
What are some health and environmental hazards of carbon dioxide?
There are no health hazards from breathing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but breathing pure carbon dioxide will kill you. The environmental hazard from carbon dioxide is that it is one of the greenhouse gases that is causing global warming.
What type of gases kill flames?
Carbon Dioxide, or C02
What gas is exhaled from the lungs?
carbon dioxide
The emission of carbon dioxide would determine the survival of life on the earth?
No, it will not ensure that but kill us. It is because the oxygen creating trees take up carbon dioxide to make oxygen.
Which beaker will carbon dioxide be in if a beaker has growing peas in it or a beaker that has boiled peas in it?
Carbon dioxide will be found in the beaker with growing peas, as plants undergo photosynthesis and release oxygen as a byproduct. Boiling the peas will kill them, halting the process of photosynthesis and the release of carbon dioxide.
What can carbon dioxide poising do?
Carbon dioxide is not poisonous but since it isn't oxygen it will kill you in large quantities. carbon monoxide however is actually poisenous, basically it reacts with your body and reduces the amount of oxygen your blood can deliver.
What is the effect of increasing carbon dioxide in the air?
