Air is a mixture of gasses that are safe and healthy for life.It contains by molar composition,78% nitrogen,21% oxygen,0.003% carbon dioxide and 1% accounts for the minute quantity of water vapour,rare gases and dust particles.Humans and animals breathe in oxygen which plants gives off.And breathes out carbon dioxide which plants takes in,by this process the air is contineously recycling and beign purified.
The air you breath is made of roughly (by volume) 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, trace amounts of other gases and may contain a variable amount of water vapor, on average around 1%.

How do bettas breathe?

Betta fish breathe air....yes... that's right... they breathe air. They breathe air because they have an organ by their gills that is called the Labyrinth's Organ which allows them to breathe air.

Do you make a balloon lighter when you blow it up?

If you blow it up with your mouth you make it heavier. You breathe out air containing a higher proportion of carbon dioxide than the air you breathe in. Carbon dioxide is a relatively heavy gas (nearly three times as dense as air) and so this increased amount of gas, plus the rest of the air in the balloon, will make the balloon heavier.
