CO2 is more efficient at lowering the respiration rate. Studies prove that by increasing its concentration, the respiratorion rate decreases rapidly.
On the other hand, if we follow the logic of “low O2 is effective in reducing the respiratory rate”, we need to lower it in large amounts to start seeing a significant effect in the reduction in respiration.
Calculate the respiratory rate:
