Why is there less oxygen in the air you breathe out?
Our bodies consume oxygen through a process called cellular respiration.
What process adds oxygen to the air?
Photosynthesis in plants adds oxygen to the air. That's because the process uses H2O (water). Photolysis (splitting with light) uses sunlight, or whatever source of light is being used by the plant, to split the water into H+ (positively charged hydrogen ions) and O2, oxygen atoms. The plant only needs the hydrogen ions, so the oxygen is released through the stomata of the plant's leaves. It then enters the atmosphere.
How do you chemically separate oxygen from air?
Oxygen from air is separated by first condensing it into a liquid and then using fractional distillation to separate nitrogen and other gases. That is the only way to separate oxygen from air on industrial scale.
What component of air is used in the process of burning?
The oxygen.
The process of rusting is also called what?
The process in which metal rusts is called oxidation. This happens usually when water is present and the oxygen can bond with the metal releasing hydrogen into the air.
What process in a chick's cells uses oxygen?
respiration
Oxygen in air causes iron to rust so iron and oxygen are what in this process?
a process called Oxidation
How do you get oxygen?
Oxygen is obtained from the atmosphere by a process called Respiration, this involves inhaling air and filling small air sacs in the lung, at which point the oxgen passes into the bloodstream through a process called Diffusion.
Why is the process of photosynthesis called an air purifying process?
Because it produces a good amount of oxygen
Why is there less oxygen in the air you breathe out?
Our bodies consume oxygen through a process called cellular respiration.
In which process do plants release oxygen?
During the process of photosynthesis, plants release oxygen into the air. This process is sometimes called the oxygen cycle when it refers to the role of plants in the production of oxygen for the planet.
Why are the process of photosynthesis called an air purifying process?
The process of photosynthesis is called air purifing process as during this process plants take in carbon dioxide released from living body and gives out oxygen needed for the living organisms
What substance is removed from the air by living things for respiration?
In the process of respiration OXYGEN is taken in from the atmoshpere and CO2 is released.
Why do you say that plants supply oxygen to the air?
Plants produce oxygen using a process called photosynthesis and then releasing it into the atmosphere.
In the lungs the blood gets rid of the?
Homework question? Well, I am sure you know we breath in oxygen and it enters the blood in the lungs. That oxygen is used in your cells to turn food into energy in a process called cellular respiration. When this process uses oxygen we call it aerobic respiration (meaning "with air") The part of the process that uses the oxygen is the Kreb's cycle. The process produces a waste gas that is eliminated in the lungs at the same time the oxygen enters. What you need to ask yourself is...what is the opposite of oxygen? A hint, plants do it the other way around, they breathe in ______ and the waste they produce is oxygen. Hope this helps! D
How did Earth's atmosphere get oxygen during the Precambrian time?
Cyanobacteria uses sunlight to make their own food. This process releases oxygen. Overtime, oxygen built upon the ocean and air.
What describes a process that does not require oxygen it means without air?
anaerobic. It means with no oxygen, but not with no "air"
