It is taken to the lungs and expelled when we exhale ADDITIONALLY: While Oxygen is transported by red cells, CO2 is dissolved in the plasma. (the liquid part of the blood).
If you remember your basic chemistry, when CO2 is dissolved it produces carbonic acid, that's the stuff that makes carbonated drinks fizzy, and it can dissolve some minerals. SO... The body buffers the CO2 to keep from building up too much carbonic acid. When you hold your breath the body cannot expel the CO2 and your blood starts to become more acidic. THAT is the real reason you get the sensation that you MUST take a breath, your body is trying to expel the CO2. You can't detect low levels of oxygen nearly as well as you can detect high levels of CO2. If oxygen is removed from air and replaced with an inert gas, you won't notice it, you'll just go to sleep since the body can still expel the CO2.

When you exhale what gas does your body get rid off?
When you breathe out, your body gets rid of Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
What brings air into the body and removes carbon dioxide?
Carbon Dioxide
What happens when carbon dioxide is treated with limewater?
Carbon dioxide is absorbed, react and calcium carbonate is formed.
If carbon dioxide is not present what happens to cellular respiration?
Nothing. Carbon dioxide is produced in respiration, but is not a reactant.
What happens if the body don't get rid of carbon dioxide?
Your not breathing out. You would be dead by now if you couldn't breathe out carbon dioxide.
What happens to the carbon dioxide produced by your body during the period of apnea?
Carbon dioxide levels increas
What happens to the carbon dioxide in the body when people die?
It goes to the air
What happens to the carbon dioxide by cellular respiration?
It is breathed out of the body by the lungs
What is carbon dioxide narcosis?
Carbon dioxide narcosis happens when people have too much oxygen. It builds up in the body and becomes toxic
What happens to the carbon dioxide atoms in the body of plants?
the body of plats will die coz of the atom
What happens when oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in the lungs?
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide happens in between the alveoli and then through the walls of the capillaries and then into the blood. The oxygen is then picked up by hemoglobin in the red blood cells and sent to all body cells. While this is happening the carbon dioxide is transported back from the body cells and into the blood. It diffuses through the walls of the capillaries and into the walls of the alveoli. Carbon dioxide leaves your body whenever you breathe out.
Do the lungs take carbon dioxide from the blood?
No. Your lungs pass oxygen into the blood and also pass carbon dioxide to the air outside your body. Oxygen combines with carbon to form carbon dioxide. This happens in our muscles, among other places.
When you exhale what gas does your body get rid off?
When you breathe out, your body gets rid of Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
When you excise your body need more carbon dioxide?
carbon dioxide
What happens to carbon dioxide molecules in the body of plants?
The process of photosynthesis breaks up CO2 molecules.
How is carbon dioxide formed inside the body?
Carbon dioxide is created when oxygen and carbon are combined. The respiratory system allows oxygen to be taken into the body while allowing the body to push out (or exhale) the carbon dioxide.
Does the human body create carbon dioxide?
YES!!! You inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.
