HELP!!! MEDAL!!!


In the human body, carbon dioxide reduces the amount of oxygen that can be transported to cells. Breathing in too much carbon dioxide will most likely result in the production of

I'm sorry, I don't know this answer

Answer 5

I would agree with "Less ATP". Glucose is not created within our cells, it is absorbed from carbohydrates. ATP is produced within our cells and one of the processes to create ATP needs oxygen to work properly.
"ATP is created through a complex enzyme-driven process. There are a couple of ways this works in cells:

-glycolysis, in which glucose is broken up into two subunits, called pyruvate, which creates two units of ATP per molecule of glucose. This happens in the cytoplasm, in both animal and plant cells.

-respiration, in which pyruvate is combined with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water, which creates a lot of ATP per unit of pyruvate (16 I think). Obviously, glycolysis has to happen first, in order to make the pyruvate. This happens in the mitochondrion, which likewise exists in both animals and plants."

Answer 6

I find the last two unlikely since carbon dioxide shouldn't affect your DNA, and protein is created in your cells without the need of carbon dioxide. Protein production aka amino acid production also happens within cells, but can also be absorbed through foods.
