Carbon dioxide typically remains in the bloodstream for a few minutes before it is exchanged for oxygen in the lungs. It is transported in the blood as bicarbonate ions, which help maintain the body's pH balance. Once the blood reaches the lungs, carbon dioxide is exhaled, allowing for fresh oxygen to be taken in.

If you hod your breatg carbon monoxide will accumlate in your blood?

The simple answer is no. your body does not produce carbon monoxide, it produces carbon dioxide. But if you hold your breath then yes carbon dioxide will accumulate in your blood. A person can feel this as a burning sensation, if you hold your breath long enough you will just pass out and your body will breath again correcting this problem


What happens to the partial pressure of carbon dioxide during breath holding?

The partial pressure of carbon dioxide increases as a function of time, depending on how long you hold your breathe. Initially, this will cause some discomfort and lead to a mild headache or muscle fatigue if you are not breathing properly during strenuous exercise. However, with proper training (like that undertaken by swimmers), you can hold your breath longer while pushing your body to perform optimally.


Why do biofuels not contribute to global warming even though burning biofuels releases carbon dioxide?

Biofuels are part of the natural carbon cycle, in which plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air and this becomes carbon which is eventually returned to the air when vegetation rots or is burnt, or when animals eat it and respire carbon dioxide back into the air. Thus, although burning of wood and biofuels does release carbon dioxide back into the air, this process does not add to the long term concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. When we create carbon dioxide from carbon that has been sequestered underground, we add new carbon dioxide to the air, increasing its concentration and causing global warming.


Is carbon dioxide in tobacco?

Yes, and that is why you see a lot of long-term smokers coughing up a storm as they smoke. The carbon dioxide replaces the oxygen in your body, therefore your body must work harder to receive the oxygen it needs. Burning any organic material will produce carbon dioxide


How do bushfires increase the Carbon Dioxide in the air?

Bushfires burn wood and vegetation, releasing carbon dioxide into the air, but they do not have a long-term effect on total atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. This is because the new growth that follows the busfire will eventually absorb the same amount of carbon as the trees that were burnt.

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.


How long is blood in lung capillaries in contact with air?

Blood in the capillaries are never in direct contact with air. Blood in contact with air is called bleeding. Oxygen, carbon dioxide (and other gases) diffuse across the alveolar and capillary walls to enter the blood stream (and leave).

What long term effects does not having enough carbon dioxide have on the body?

Not having enough carbon dioxide in the body can lead to respiratory alkalosis, which can cause symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, tingling in the extremities, and muscle cramps. It may also affect the body's ability to regulate pH levels and lead to disruptions in various bodily functions.
