The air we breathe out contains about 16% oxygen and 4% carbon dioxide. The rest is mainly nitrogen and trace amounts of other gases.
No, humans do not breathe in carbon dioxide. We inhale air that contains oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide as a waste product of respiration. Breathing in too much carbon dioxide can be harmful to our health.
No, humans cannot breathe carbon dioxide. Breathing in high concentrations of carbon dioxide can be harmful and even fatal, as it can displace oxygen in the body. Oxygen is essential for human respiration.
The ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide in the air is approximately 21:0.04. This means that oxygen makes up about 21% of the air we breathe, while carbon dioxide is present in much lower concentrations at around 0.04%.
About 21% of the air we breathe is oxygen. The other major components are nitrogen (about 78%) and trace gases like argon, carbon dioxide, and others.
i don't completely under stand your question, but if you're asking why the amount of it in the air doesn't change, the answer is simple. we breathe in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide. while plants "breathe in" carbon dioxide and let out oxygen. oxygen is also made from chemical reactions from the ocean. but this is not enough to supply this much life with oxygen, and we still don't know where all the extra oxygen came from.

The air that we breathe in 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other gases. We only need the oxygen though, so we breathe out the other gases with the carbon dioxide that our body produces during respiration. So to answer your question, it is nitrogen, but we breathe it in and then out- we don't use it. The only gas we use is oxygen to breathe.

well if you breathe it in too much you`ll suffocate and die because you're not getting enough of your oxygen.
Oxygen---------- 4-5 % Carbon dioxide---------- 20% Nitrogen--------- 75%
So far, we can only speak for our own planet, Earth; we're not aware of any other planet with either plant life or large quantities of free oxygen. On Earth, oxygen is produced by plants, which take in carbon dioxide and secrete oxygen, much as animals breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. We really are in symbiosis with our planet.
Oxygen, we pretty much breathe and exhale the complete opposite gases that plants do. Most green plants take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.
Large amounts of air (I'm assuming you mean in a natural environment e.g a rainforest) are actually quite bad for plants as they require carbon-dioxide to live. The balance caused by humans and other animals (we breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon-dioxide) saves the plants from to much oxygen.
The air that we inhale has approximately 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 0.04% carbon dioxide and approximately 1% inert gases.The air that we exhale has 78% nitrogen gas, 17% oxygen, 4% carbon dioxide, and approximately 1% inert gases.The difference between the amount of oxygen in inhaled and exhaled air is equal to the difference in the amount of carbon dioxide in exhaled and inhaled air.Our cells need the oxygen produced by autotrophic organisms, such as cyanobacteria, phytoplankton, algae, and land plants. Photosynthesis is the only source of oxygen on the earth.When we breathe in, gas exchange between the air and the blood takes place in the alveoli of the lungs. There, oxygen diffuses into the blood, making it oxygen-rich, and carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood. Too much carbon dioxide is harmful, though some is necessary to maintain proper blood pH. The carbon dioxide that we breathe out is used by photosynthetic organisms for photosynthesis.
