After being produced by the muscles during aerobic metabolism, carbon dioxide (CO2) diffuses from the muscle cells into the bloodstream. It is then transported to the lungs primarily in three forms: dissolved in plasma, bound to hemoglobin, and as bicarbonate ions. In the lungs, CO2 is expelled from the blood and exhaled out of the body. This process helps maintain the body's acid-base balance and supports efficient respiration.

What gases does incineration create?

That depends on what is being incinerated but certainly water vapour, and carbon dioxide will be produced.


The majority of the carbon dioxide we exhale is produced in what?

The majority of the carbon dioxide we exhale is produced in the mitochondria of our cells during the process of cellular respiration. Specifically, it is a byproduct of the Krebs cycle (or citric acid cycle), where glucose and oxygen are converted into energy, with carbon dioxide being released as a waste product. This CO2 is then transported in the bloodstream to the lungs, where it is exhaled.


What is produced when fire burns?

carbon dioxide(co2) BUT... if there must me not enough oxygen then the produced gas is carbon monoxide(co)


The oxgyen carbon dioxide cycle involves the conversion of oxygen to carbon dioxide and back through living organisms?

Actually, the oxygen-carbon dioxide cycle involves the process of photosynthesis where plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen in the presence of sunlight. This oxygen is then utilized by living organisms for respiration, where they convert it back into carbon dioxide. So, it is a continuous cycle of oxygen being produced and consumed by living organisms.


Why is the carbon dioxide produced in cells during exercise and What evidence supports this?

Carbon dioxide is produced in cells during exercise as a byproduct of cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down to release energy. This process occurs in mitochondria, with carbon dioxide being a waste product that is expelled from the body through respiration. Evidence supporting this includes the increase in ventilation rate and carbon dioxide levels in exhaled air during exercise, as well as the correlation between oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production.

Why is more carbon dioxide being produced?

More carbon dioxide is being produced primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These activities release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming.


Why is Carbon produced when something is burnt?

Technically, carbon is not produced when something is burned. Carbon dioxide is produced. And only if the substance being burned contains carbon compounds. Burning separates the carbon from the other elements in the compound and combines it with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide.

When burning fuels - what is produced?

Carbon dioxide


Name the carbon compound produced in 2C6H14 13O2- 12CO 14H2O?

12 carbon monoxides due to lack of enough oxygen when it was being formed


Is carbon dioxide found in homes related to utilities?

As well as being produced by cars, certain industrial processes, burning wood and so on, carbon dioxide is what human beings produce when they exhale (breathe out). So yes, carbon dioxide is in EVERY home.


What role of potassium hydroxide in a volumeter in respiration experiment?

Potassium hydroxide in a volumeter is used to absorb carbon dioxide produced during respiration. This helps to ensure that the volume of gas being measured is only the oxygen consumed and not affected by the carbon dioxide produced. Potassium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide to form potassium carbonate and water, effectively removing carbon dioxide from the system.


Why is carbon dioxide a waste product?

Because it is being produced as a bye product in oxidation during respiration and combustion.


What would be the product if a compound containing carbon is burnt. Is there any test to confirm this?

The product of carbon being burnt is carbon dioxide, when it is burnt in excess of oxygen. Carbon dioxide is colorless and basically odorless, but it can be determined by passing the gases into a solution of limewater. This will become milky, as calcium carbonate would be produced in the presence of carbon dioxide.


How do you prove that carbon dioxide is produced during fermentation?

Carbon dioxide is produced during fermentation because the yeast or bacteria present in the fermentation process metabolize sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide. This can be visually confirmed by observing bubbles of carbon dioxide being released during the fermentation process. Additionally, chemical tests like Bromothymol blue can be used to confirm the presence of carbon dioxide through a color change.


What life process produces carbon dioxide as a waste product?

The process of cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide as a waste product. During cellular respiration, cells break down glucose to release energy, with carbon dioxide being produced as a byproduct.


How is H2O made in a car engine?

When you burn any hydrocarbon (a compound of carbon and hydrogen) in air (oxygen being the reactant), carbon dioxide and water are produced.
