Inhaled air contains more oxygen than carbon dioxide and other gases. Exhaled air contains mostly carbon dioxide as the inhaled oxygen was used up to create energy. Waste carbon dioxide (and other unwanted gases) is then let out of the body and the cycle continues. :)

What is the concentration of oxygen in inhaled air?
Exhaled air contains 16% oxygen and 21% when inhaled.
Compare inhale air and exhale air?
Exhaled air - is the carbon dioxide that we breath out as a product of cellular respiration. Inhaled air is the oxygen we take in that is required for the process of cellular respiration. Along with the oxygen we take in are other elements such as Nitrogen, which we don't use and it doesn't harm us. It's just a by product of breathing.
What is the volume of air inhaled or exhaled during each respiratory cycle?
tidal volume
Explain the amount of various gases in an inhaled and an exhaled air?
Inhaled airNitrogen: 78%Oxygen: 21%Carbon Dioxide: 0.04%Water Vapour: 0.96%Exhaled AirNitrogen: 78%Oxygen: 17%Carbon Dioxide: 4%Water Vapour: 3%
What gas is more abundant in exhaled air than inhaled air?
Nitrogen is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere ( ~ 80% ) and therefore is the dominant species in both inspired as well as expired air.
How does the oxygen and carbon dioxide content of exhaled air differ from inhaled air?
Exhaled air has more carbon dioxide and less oxygen than does inhaled air.
What is the concentration of oxygen in inhaled air?
Exhaled air contains 16% oxygen and 21% when inhaled.
Name a gas whose concentration is the same in inhaled air and exhaled air?
nitrogen
Which air is heavier out of inhaled air and exhaled air?
Exhaled air, which has a slightly higher amount of carbon dioxide, is heavier than inhaled air.
How is air inhaled and exhaled?
Breathing.
Does inhale air has more oxygen or exhaled air?
Inhaled air is richer in oxygen than exhaled air.
Which contains more oxygen inhaled air or exhaled air?
Inhaled air contains more oxygen than exhaled air because the cells have not yet used that oxyginated air.
What are the 3 main difference between the exhaled and inhaled air?
Exhaled air has less oxygen than inhaled air.Exhaled air has more carbon dioxide than inhaled air.Exhaled air is warmer that inhaled air.Maybe the first 2 are redundant, but I think that should work!
Whats are the differences between inhaled and exhaled air?
Exhaled air contains CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and Inhaled air contains O2(Oxygen).
Is carbon dioxide richer in exhaled or atmospheric air?
yes it is the inhaled air is 0.04 %, whereas, of the exhaled air is 4 % (100 times) more
Which air contains more damp inhaled or exhaled air?
Yes
Where is air inhaled and exhaled?
