How does the nose take the oxygen from the air?
when you breath in throught the nose all of that oxygen from the air comes from the oxygen and carbon dioxide that other people breath in.
Can freon displace oxygen in the air?
Yes. All gasses take up space and can therefore displace oxygen.
Why should sand be poured to put out fire?
Sand is heavy enough to push out all the air from the burning material. If a fire is starved of oxygen - it cannot burn.
Does fire need fuel and oxygen to burn?
If by 'fire' you mean a flame, then yes. A super hot gas discharged from a nozzel will produce a flame even though no combustion takes place. Anything can be heated to a plasma stage by magnetic resonance, especially if there is some iron mixed in to get things started. Of course in all these situations you have to get energy from someplace, which is what fuel is ordinarily used for.
How does a fire triangle work?
All 3 things around the triangle you need to create and sustain fire - heat-fuel-oxygen. If you take any of them out you can not produce or sustain a fire.
Do all animals take in air like humans?
Humans are anmals and we all act alike in that we need to take in oxygen in the air.

How do firefighters put out fire storms?
They really can't put them out. When a fire gets that bad it sucks out all the oxygen in the air and it will pull people into the fire.
Do organisms take oxygen from the air and the water?
Yes organisms take oxygen from the air and aquatic organisms take oxygen from the water using their gills. Some do. Most only from one or the other. For example a tuna fish gets pretty much all its oxygen from oxygen dissolved in water. Humans get all our oxygen from the air. Mudskippers get oxygen from both. Yes. Land animals take in oxygen that plants release using their noses. On the other hand, aquatic or marine animals take in oxygen using their gills.
Can freon displace oxygen in the air?
Yes. All gasses take up space and can therefore displace oxygen.
Trees need some oxygen to grow. Do they take in some through the air or do they take it in through the soil via water?
The leaves supply almost all of the oxygen, so through the air.
Why should sand be poured to put out fire?
Sand is heavy enough to push out all the air from the burning material. If a fire is starved of oxygen - it cannot burn.
Why do you not take in all the oxygen in the air?
We need to share with other humans, plants, and animals.
Where do the red blood cells take the oxygen?
All over the body. Think your toes don't need air?
How do you process the air you breathe before it gets into your lungs?
All I can say is that when you breath in, you take in air and extract the oxygen. When you exhale you're letting out the nitrogen that was with the oxygen in the air. The oxygen then goes to your blood. How this happens? I can't say. Sorry.
