Answer 1

Check your biology textbook. The answer is there.

Answer 2

The topic is wide... I would suggest Guyton & Hall's Textbook of Medical Physiology; it's written extremelly well, it can help you understand the basics of the human physiology. You can probably find it on the internet to buy or you can borrow it from a med student. Regarding the contrast effects of the CO2 and O2: they usually stimulate the respiratory center. high O2 pressure in the blood diminished the respiratory frequency and the amplitude of the respiratory movements and the CO2 has opposite effects, but this is in short... try to read from the suggested book, you will find it very useful.
