No, this is not true. Human breathing is part of the carbon cycle. We breathe it in, (and we take it in by eating and drinking) and we breathe it out.

What are causes of carbon emission?

The causes of carbon emissions are humans. We humans use fuel by DRIVING TOO MANY FUEL CARS AND TRUCKS!


Is breathing controlled by changes in the chemistry of the blood?

In short, yes. The main control of respiration is actually the level of carbon dioxide in your blood. When carbon dioxide levels rise, a chemical reaction occurs that causes the acidity levels of your blood to rise. This is detected by chemorecepters that stimulate you to breathe. On the other hand, if you breathe too fast and carbon dioxide levels drop, your body will slow down it's breathing. There are several other processes that help regulate breathing, but carbon dioxide levels are by far the most important.


How do you differ carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide?

The chemical formula for carbon monoxide is CO while that for carbon dioxide is CO2. Both are colourless and odourless gases, but CO2 will form a white precipitate with limewater. CO is toxic to humans; CO2 causes the enhanced greenhouse effect that leads to global warming.


Is a decrease or increase in CO2 in the blood the chemical stimulus that causes the cessation of breath holding?

You can not die of holding the breath. As you hold the breath, carbon bi oxide get accumulated in your blood. It is very powerful stimulant of the breathing.


What is environmental imbalance?

Environmental imbalance happens when anything alters the function of an ecosystem. Ecosystems naturally maintain global environmental balance. Deforestation, soil erosion, and greenhouse gases are some of the causes of environmental imbalance.

What causes carbon dioxide to emit from the skin?

One of the causes of carbon dioxide emitted from the skin is sweating. Research studies show humans are more prone to release carbon dioxide from heavy breathing due to vigorous exercises.

Why do people hyperventilate and what are the common causes of this rapid breathing pattern?

People hyperventilate when they breathe too quickly and shallowly, which can lead to an imbalance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. Common causes of hyperventilation include anxiety, panic attacks, stress, and certain medical conditions such as asthma or heart problems.

Does talking cause global warming?

No. Talking only causes hot air.We do breathe out carbon dioxide, but the daily breathing of humans and animals is part of the natural carbon cycle, just as vegetation breathes in carbon dioxide and breathes out oxygen.Global warming is caused by all the extra carbon dioxide that is released when we burn coal and oil. That carbon has been stored under the ground for millions of years, so releasing it is a problem.


What is the solution of ecological imbalance?

ecological imbalance is caused due to green house effect, acid rain, deforestation. The other causes are ^- gases which are emitted from the vechicles also causes a type of ecological imbalance in the sense that the harmful gases causes the ozone gases to get deplete... ^- The poisonous wastage which is being thrown in the near by river causes the marine animals to get distinct.... which is also a ecological imbalance...


How does Carbon Dioxide help the environment?

Carbon dioxide is necessary to maintaining the breathing rate in humans. When oxygen is utilized, the waste (carbon dioxide) is transported in the blood as dissolved bicarbonate. However, the presence of CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the blood causes it to become more acidic. Chemoreceptors in the blood monitor blood acidity and report to the the medulla area of the brain. If the chemoreceptors and the medulla evaluate that the acidity is too high, the medulla will instruct the intercostal muscles (muscles in between rib bones) and the diaphragm to increase the breathing rate. This is how CO2 regulates breathing rate and is necessary to our bodies.


What causes the accumulation of carbon dioxide in a house?

The accumulation of carbon dioxide in a house is caused by activities such as cooking, heating, and breathing, which release carbon dioxide into the air. Poor ventilation and airtight spaces can also contribute to higher levels of carbon dioxide indoors.
