How does the percent of oxygen and nitrogen change with the increase in altitude?
When the altitude increases, the air becomes thinner. There are fewer air molecules at 60 km above the surface than 30 km. Thinner air has less air molecules because they are further apart. In dense air, the molecules are packed tighter.
Is Air is made up mainly of oxygen?
Air is mostly made up of nitrogen. Oxygen is the second largest amount in air. Carbon dioxide is the third largest amount in air. Hope this helps!
How do trees affect the gases in the atmosphere?
Trees perform photosynthesis and so they PRODUCE OXYGEN. All creatures need oxygen in the air to breathe, so trees make the air breathable.
What is the amount of air inspired and expired in normal respiration normal 500 mL and is known as the?
Tidal Volume
How does the plant get oxygen?
Most of autotrophic plants get major amount of oxygen from photosynthesis. During night, when there is no photosynthesis, oxygen by plants is obtained from air However, the amount of oxygen released during photosynthesis by plants is manifold of their requirement for respiration.
What causes the drop in the amount of oxygen between inspired and expired air?
Modern
How does expired air differ from inspired air?
Both Inspired and expired air have higher amounts of oxygen than Carbon Dioxide. Inspired air has higher amounts of oxygen than expired, while expired air has higher amounts of Carbon Dioxide than inspired air.
Will an air purifying respirators save your life within an oxygen-deficient atmosphere?
No, an air purifying respirator will NOT save your life in an oxygen deficient atmosphere.An air PURIFYING respirator removes bad things from air. It does not MAKE good things (like oxygen). In an oxygen deficient atmosphere, you must have a supply of oxygen. This is usually provided by an SCBA, or an air line respirator.Underground miners have "self rescue breathers." These are a form of respirator that can make oxygen. They are very expensive, have limited uses, and work for a limited time.
What is the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere?
Air is 20.5 percent oxygen.
What do you think will happen to animals and humans if the amount of oxygen in the air is reduced?
What do you think will happen to animals and humans if the amount of oxygen in the air is reduced?
What makes up 21 percent of the air?
oxygen! There is 21 percent oxygen in inspired ( the stuff you breath in) air and 13 percent in expired(the stuff you breath out)
What is the medical term meaning amount of air inspired and expired during normal breathing?
The medical term for the amount of air inspired and expired during normal breathing is tidal volume.
What percentages of inspired air are oxygen and carbon dioxide?
Ambient air (the air you breathe in) contains about 21% oxygen and about 380 ppm carbon dioxide. This changes slightly summer to winter, downwind of green vegetation during the day and in buildings.
What diagram show the path taken by oxygen from the air inspired air passing to the blood?
Trachea bronchus bronchiole alveoli haemoglobin
Why CO2 is more in alveolar air than expired air?
CO2 is more concentrated in alveolar air compared to expired air because gas exchange occurs in the lungs where oxygen is taken up by the blood and CO2 is released into the alveoli. Additionally, more CO2 is produced in the body through cellular respiration, contributing to its higher concentration in alveolar air.
Why does the air in the lungs have a lower percentage of oxygen and higher carbon dioxide than the inspired air?
Because your body consumes the oxygen and generates carbon dioxide as a waste product. Extracting oxygen and emitting carbondioxid is what the lungs are for.
What happened to amount of oxygen in air if photosynthesis stopped?
no effect
