the major implications would be that the cells are not going to receive oxygen which means that they will die because cells need oxygen to perform their metabolic process (cellular respiration). without cellular respiration, the cells will have to ATP and they will not be able to perform their functions. (ie. muscles won't contract...

dead cells will cause massive organ failure but before that the organism would suffocate to death because the heart would be one of the first organs to fail from lack of oxygen. it would pump harder and harder and require even more oxygen.

Which gases are in oxygen?

Oxygen is an element - it contains no other constituent gases.


Why cant humans respire gases other than oxygen?

Humans have evolved to respire oxygen because it is essential for producing energy in our cells. Other gases do not support this process, so breathing gases other than oxygen would not provide the necessary energy for our bodies to function properly. Breathing other gases, such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide, can actually be harmful or fatal to humans.

How your lungs refine oxygen from other gases?

Your lungs refine oxygen from the other gases in air because the gases diffuse through the cell walls in the alveoli in your lungs through osmosis (higher concentration of gases in the air than in the blood, so gases move from the higher concentration to the lower concentration) where they contact the red blood cells. The hemoglobin in the red blood cells binds to the oxygen and leaves all the other gases alone. It moves on from the lungs and delivers the oxygen to the rest of the body. It's the hemoglobin that does the work.


What are the gases that makes up the air?

These gases are nitrogen, oxygen, argon, other noble gases, carbon dioxide, water vapors.
