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.

Air contains which gas?
Air on Earth is mostly Nitrogen, followed by oxygen, and then carbon dioxide and trace gasses
Is a gas oxygen or carbon dioxide?
Air is a mixture of gasses. In order of decreasing abundance they are: Nitrogen: ~78% Oxygen: ~ 21% Argon: ~ 1% Water vapor ~ 0.4% (variable) Carbon dioxide: 0.04% Other gasses are present in trace amounts.
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.
What are the products of the complete combustion of propane?
carbon dioxide and water oxygen gas and carbon atoms
What are the components of the air we breathe?
The components found in the air are 21 percent oxygen and 78 percent nitrogen. In the air people breath there are also trace amounts of carbon dioxide present.
Other names of gases?
methane oxygen hydrogen anesthtic helium carbon dioxide
Trace the path of oxygen water and carbon dioxide through the organelles?
When tracing the path of oxygen, water, carbon dioxide and glucose in the production of energy it will show that first oxygen and water enter the cell. Carbon dioxide and glucose are then produced in the cell and carbon dioxide is given off. Energy is also dispelled as glucose.
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.
What is the atmosphere made of on mars?
Nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and a small trace of carbon monoxide
Which gases are added ot the air by the lungs?
well theres carbon dioxide of course,and trace amounts of oxygen
Air contains which gas?
Air on Earth is mostly Nitrogen, followed by oxygen, and then carbon dioxide and trace gasses
What does air contain?
Air is made up of approximately: 78% nitrogen 20% oxygen 0.93% argon 0.04% carbon dioxide and about 1% water vapor which varies with humidity. There are trace amounts of other gasses including helium and radioactive radon gas.
What are the elements in the air?
Nitrogen, oxygen carbon-dioxide, trace amounts of helium and other compounds.
What kind of air is on Mars?
The atmosphere of Mars is mostly comprised of carbon dioxide. There are also trace amounts of argon, nitrogen and oxygen.
What is planet Earths atmosphere made of?
79% Nitrogen, 20% Oxygen and 1% argon, Carbon Dioxide and other trace gasses.
Does oxygen exist in mars?
Yes, there are trace amounts of oxygen in Mars's atmosphere (less than 1%), and huge amounts of carbon dioxide and water ice that can both be processed into oxygen.
What makes up marses atmosphere?
Mars's atmosphere in composed primarily of carbon dioxide, with small amounts of nitrogen and argon, and trace amounts of oxygen, water vapor, carbon monoxide, and various other gasses.
