oxygen
carbon dioxide
A patient breathing room air should be receiving approximately 21% oxygen. This is the normal oxygen concentration present in the air we breathe.
The concentration of oxygen in the air is much much higher than in the water. This make obtaining oxygen much easier and strenuous activity (to a level higher than that is water) possible.
breathing
It is not so much as the composition that is important, it is that at higher altitudes there is less air. Air is about 20% oxygen, but the higher up you go in altitude, the thinner air will have less oxygen. That's what makes breathing more difficult at higher altitudes.
In normal breathing, the acceptable level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air is typically around 0.04% (400 parts per million). In human physiology, the concentration of CO2 in exhaled air is much higher, usually around 4-5%. While elevated CO2 levels in the environment can indicate poor air quality, concentrations below 1% are generally considered safe for normal breathing.
This is an example of diffusion, where molecules naturally move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In this case, carbon dioxide moves from the air (higher concentration) into the plant (lower concentration) during photosynthesis.
At higher altitudes, the air pressure decreases due to lower atmospheric density. This decrease in air pressure leads to a lower concentration of oxygen molecules available. Consequently, there is less oxygen available for breathing on the top of a mountain.
Nitrogen is a gas that is present in the same concentration in inhaled and exhaled air, as it is not chemically changed by the body during respiration.
At sea level, the air pressure is higher, which means there is more oxygen available for breathing. At higher altitudes, the air pressure decreases, making it harder for the body to take in enough oxygen, leading to difficulty in breathing.
Yes the altitude of the area does affect the breathing rate becaue the higher you go the lower the air pressure and the the lower you go the lower the air pressure.
when you climb higher you will get colder and colder when you go higher.2. it dosent have much air when you get up so take breathing equietment.
