CO2 (carbon dioxide) can probably choke you if you breathe it in, that's why you SHOULD NEVER ever put a bag around your head, you will only have a few breathes of oxygen, then you start to breathe in carbon dioxide. CO is very very dangerous. If you keep breathing it in, it can kill you. DO NOT run a generator, car, barbeque inside of your house, those can cause CO poisoning. With CO (carbon monoxide) breathing it in can poison your blood, heart, and stop the brain from functioning properly. You breathe in oxygen so you can give oxygen poor blood, oxygen, so it can turn into oxygen rich blood. If there is wrong information in here, you are welcome to correct it. I hope i answered your question :)

Why is carbon dioxide toxic to cells?

Yes. Carbon Monoxide (CO) has one molecule of Oxygen less than Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and hence, it will try to absorb oxygen from the surrounding air (where it is released) and get converted to CO2. This way it robs the surrounding air of Oxygen which in turn can suffocate people. When inhaled too, CO has similar effects inside our lungs and hence it is more toxic than CO2
