Be a little more specific.

In general: You breath in oxygen through your nose, into your lungs. It is carried from you lungs into the blood system and is carried be bonding to Iron in hemoglobin. It goes throughout the body because the heart pumps the blood through the circulatory system. Cells absorb Oxygen in order to perform aerobic reparation in the mitochondria. Carbon dioxide is a by-product of the production of ATP in aerobic respiration. At the end of ATP synthase Oxygen combines with hydrogen and forms water.

How much oxygen and carbon dioxide is the air that we breathe out?

The air we breathe out contains about 16% oxygen and 4% carbon dioxide. The rest is mainly nitrogen and trace amounts of other gases.


What do people breathe into the air?

People ( Humans) exhale nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases. The nitrogen and other gases remain unreacted. from the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is the result of breathing in (inhaling) oxygen travelling around the body in the blood stream, being used at the muscles etc., thereby being converted to carbon dioxide, which is carried in the blood stream to be exhaled. The carbon dioxide, being a heavy gas, falls to earth, is breathed in by green plant life, undergoes photosynthesis, and oxygen is released. The carbon compoent remains in the plant as biomass. The two gases , oxygen and carbon dioxide, are part of the oxygen/carbon cycle.


Air contains which gas?

Air contains several gases, but the two most abundant ones are nitrogen (about 78%) and oxygen (about 21%). Other gases found in smaller amounts include argon, carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of others.


How much oxygen is in the air we breathe?

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.


What gasses are in air?

The main gases in air are nitrogen (about 78%), oxygen (about 21%), and trace amounts of argon, carbon dioxide, and other gases. Nitrogen and oxygen are the most abundant and important components for sustaining life.

Does venus show signs of oxygen in its atmosphere?

If by Oxygen you mean pure Oxygen molecules, then no, only possible trace amounts. However, there is massive amounts of Carbon Dioxide (95% of Venus's atmosphere) which can be fairly easily be converted into oxygen.


What gases are exchanged in the pulmonary circuit?

generally accepted answer - oxygen gas (O2) and carbon dioxide gas. But also water vapor, some nitrogen, and a lot of other trace gases.

IS Carbon dioxide the most abundant trace gas in Earth s atmosphere?

No, carbon dioxide is not considered a trace gas in Earth's atmosphere. Trace gases are typically present in very small concentrations compared to major atmospheric gases like nitrogen and oxygen. Carbon dioxide, while not a trace gas, is an important greenhouse gas that plays a key role in regulating Earth's climate.

Air is mostly composed of?

Im pretty sure its composed of elements that are nonmetals. taking a test recently said that they were not noble gasses.
