Why is it different when the composition of the air as it enters the lung compaerd to when it leaves the lung?

The air that enters the lungs is richer in oxygen when it enters the lungs. when it leaves it has more carbon dioxide and less oxygen as the lungs expel carbon dioxde and some unused oxygen.


Does cow exhale oxygen after inhaling it?

Cows, like most organisms you will encounter, use the process of aerobic respiration. This happens at the cellular level, where all cells in the cow's body have mitochondria, an organelle (think of it as a cellular organ) that uses oxygen to power the initial breaking of the bonds of a sugar called glucose. The release of energy from the high energy bonds of glucose is then transferred by the mitochondria to ATP molecules, which you can think of as the energy currency of the cell. Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of breaking down the bonds of glucose using oxygen in the mitochondria, and it can be considered to be cellular waste, which needs to be disposed of before it builds up to toxic levels. ATP can then be used to do work throughout the cow's body, because every time it is converted to ADP + P, it releases some energy from its high energy bonds. Now back to your question, why do cows exhale and inhale oxygen. Well, they have to inhale in order to get the oxygen that is in the air into their lungs, where it will then be picked up at the capillaries, the tiniest of blood vessels, and carried throughout the body to all the cells. When a cell in the body lacks oxygen, the red blood cells will drop off their oxygen at those cells. The blood also picks up the carbon dioxide that has been produced and is building up as cellular waste. That same blood that came from the lungs full of oxygen is now heading back to the lungs carrying carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is exchanged at the capillaries into lungs and is exhaled. So, every time the cow inhales, it takes in air richer in oxygen and since much of that oxygen is getting picked up at the lungs by the blood, and carbon dioxide is entering lungs there, when the cow exhales, it expels the carbon dioxide and picks up a new batch of fresh air to satisfy the constant need of our cells for oxygen. You asked why the cow exhales oxygen, and it's a good question, because not all of the oxygen that was in the air in the lungs is exchanged there with the capillaries, so some oxygen (less than was inhaled) is being exhaled too. Inhaled air has about 21% oxygen while exhaled air has about 15% oxygen.


What does inhaled air contain?

Inhaled air contains the same constituents as the atmosphere which is made up of the following approximately:78-79 % nitrogen18 -20 % oxygen0.93% argon0.04% carbon dioxideAir also contains pproximately 1% water vapor which varies depending on local climatic conditions. There are small trace amounts of other gasses too.Exhaled air, is much richer in Carbon dioxide as less rich in oxygen.
