What organ or structure absorbs oxygen from air?
The respiratory system seems like the obvious answer, but you used the word absorb. The respiratory system takes air into the lungs, but the red blood cells (erythrocytes) absorb the oxygen out of the air taken into the lungs. The circulatory system then delivers these red blood cells to the capillaries where the oxygen is traded for carbon dioxide as the cells need.
What organ is responsible for removing oxygen from air?
The lungs remove oxygen from the air.
How lungs get oxygen?
From the air drawn into the lungs by movement of the diaphragm
What gas in air does your body get when you breathe in?
Your body absorbs some of the oxygen out of air in your lungs
Where does a plant get the carbon dioxide that it needs for a dark reaction of photosynthesis?
From the air around it. During the day, plants absorb oxygen from the air. At night - they absorb carbon dioxide.
What is an organ that allows you to absorb oxygen from the air?
your lungs

How do head lice breathe?
they absorb oxygen directly from the air without lungs.
How do alligators obtain oxygen?
Alligators are air breathers. They inhale and exhale through their nostrils. Their lungs absorb oxygen from the air that they inhale.
Do we exhale oxygen rich air from our lungs?
We exhale more oxygen than we use. Air contains approximately 20% Oxygen - when we breathe in - we absorb about 4% of the oxygen - and exhale the rest.

One organ of the respiratory system?
The most important organ of our respiratory system is the Lungs. The lungs are the organs that extract or absorb oxygen from the air we breathe and fills our blood with life giving oxygen.
Why can hyperventilation lead to reduced oxygenation?
you give your lungs less time to absorb the oxygen in the air because you breath it out immediately.
What happens to the other gases in the air when we breathe in- where do they go?
You inhale them but your lungs only absorb the oxygen- they are exhaled again when you breathe out.
Do All modern amphibians use only their lungs for respiration?
Amphibians use their lungs for respiration, but they also absorb oxygen through their skin. They breath underwater by absorbing dissolved oxygen in the air or gills.
How does a raccoon get oxygen from the environment inside the body?
Raccoons breath in oxygen just like any other mammal. They inhale oxygenated air through the mouth and nose into the lungs. The lungs absorb the oxygen and excrete carbon dioxide.
