Why are the test tubes wet when there are oxygen and carbon dioxide inside the test tubes?

Cold tubes cause condensation moisture, and if you put the gases in the tubes from a compressed source, expanding gases cause cooling (due to entropic effects).

What happens to oxygen when it goes through the lungs?
Essentially the air inhaled, which includes oxygen, passes through the various bronchi and briochioles until it reaches the aveoli. Here is where oxygen diffuses due to a concentration gradient. The oxygen must diffuse 5 layers before it enters a red blood cell. The red blood cell can now deliver it to tissues. At the same time, carbon dioxide diffuses through 5 layers to reach the aveolar space and can be exhaled the 5 layers are as follows: (1) type 1 aveolar cell, (2) basal lamina of type 1 aveolar cell, (3) basal lamina of endothelial cell, (4) endothelial cell, and (5) plasma membrane of the red blood cell. Oxygen diffuses from 1 to 5 and Carbon dioxide difuses from 5 to 1. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are essentially trading places. Note: basal lamina is connective tissue that a cell adheres to. Bronchi and bronchioles are the tubes which air flows. aveoli are small sacs of empty space, which is the site for gas exchange. drazx is the original author of this answer
What color of tubes for fasting glucose?
The tubes used for fasting glucose is the SST tubes. The tubes are clear in color. The stoppers for the tubes are gold and red gray in color. The tubes contain a gel inside for separating the blood.
What is used to clean the inside of the test tubes?
Test tube brush
What is the stuff inside glow sticks?
there are two tubes inside a glow stick, the plastic one which you bend and the small glass one inside. the large plastic one has hydrogen peroxide, and the small glass tube has the neon dye and diphenyl oxalate
What is a test tube cleaner and how is it used?
Test tube cleaner is also called a test tube brush. It is use to clean the test tubes. Specifically, the inside part of it.
What is happening to the cellular level when you breathe?
Inside the lungs are tiny tubes known as the terminal bronchiole. Within these tubes are thing air sacs which transfer oxygen directly into the blood and remove carbon dioxide.
How do bees respire?
Bees respire by a netwprk of tubes called tracheae. They let oxygen in and carbon dioxide out through their tubes-like structures.
Is oxygen exchanged for carbon dioxide?
Yes, in the Lungs at the base of the multi-branching tracheal tubes within the Alveoli.
What gases pass through the bronchial tubes?
Every gas naturally found in air, includin, but not limited to, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
What gases are exchanged when blood flows into lungs?
When oxygen enters our heart and into our lungs,it passes through tubes called alveoli .It then carries oxgen into the blood vessel,artery and carbon dioxide would then be carried out through our body.
What happens to the air as it travels in the body?
When we breathe oxygen.The oxygen then goes down the trachea and through the bronchiole tubes and into the lungs, where it meets the alveoli. The Oxygen in the alveoli then diffuses through the alveoli and through the capillaries in the lungs. The capillaries are only one cell thick, thus making it easier for the oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse through. The carbon dioxide diffuses through, in the other direction from, the capillaries to the alveoli, where it can leave the body via the bronchiole tubes, trachea and exiting out the mouth and we end up breathing out oxygen. Also the name for when we breathe oxygen and and breathe out carbon dioxide is "gas exchange"
How is carben dioxides path different from oxygens path?
we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Oxygen enters the respiratory system through the mouth and the nose then to larynx-trachea- bronchi-bronchial tubes-lungs-alveoli-diffuses through the capillaries into the arterial blood, veins releases its carbon dioxide into the alveoli, then the carbon dioxide follows the same path out of the lungs when you exhale.
Where does air go when a person breast in?
Straight into the lungs. From the throat, the 'bronchus' divides time and time again creating thinner and thinner tubes. The oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream, while at the same time, carbon dioxide from your body is 'exchanged' You breathe out the carbon dioxide along with any oxygen that's not been absorbed.
Why is there pain with carbon dioxide in a tubal ligation?
A blast of carbon dioxide is used to check whether a tube or tubes are open. The technician can tell by the degree of backpressure whether one, both, or none of the tubes are open or blocked. If the tubes are both blocked, no carbon dioxide will get through to the abdominal cavity. If one or both tubes are open, the carbon dioxide will enter the abdominal cavity, and when you sit up, it will cause pressure on the diaphragm (the muscle below the lungs that makes the lungs fill and empty), which causes a stab of back pain. Carbon dioxide is used because it is quickly and harmlessly absorbed by the body tissues.
Take three test tubes. Fill ¾th of each with water. Label them A, B and C. Keep a snail in test tube A, a water plant in test tubes B and C, and keep the snail and plant both. Which test tube would have the highest concentration of CO2?
Living organisms release C O 2 during respiration and take in oxygen whereas plants utilize C O 2 and give out oxygen during photosynthesis. So, the test tube A will have the highest concentration of carbon dioxide because carbon dioxide is released by the snail through respiration. In test tubes, B and C, a part of the carbon dioxide is utilized by the plant for photosynthesis and hence there will be less concentration of carbon dioxide.
Why do bees have tiny holes in there sides called spiracles?
The spiracles are the means by which the insects breathe. They open into tubes called trachaea which pass oxygen in to the insect's tissues and carry the carbon dioxide out.
What is it called when you breathe in?
When we breathe in the intercostal muscles in the rib cage contract and the chest inflates, while filling up with air, at this point the diaphragm flattens. The oxygen then goes down the trachea and through the bronchiole tubes and into the lungs, where it meets the alveoli. The Oxygen in the alveoli then diffuses through the alveoli and through the capillaries in the lungs. The capillaries are only one cell thick, thus making it easier for the oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse through. The carbon dioxide diffuses through, in the other direction from, the capillaries to the alveoli, where it can leave the body via the bronchiole tubes, trachea and exiting out the mouth. When we breath out, the diaphragm relaxes and goes back into the dome shape, the intercostal muscles also relax, allowing the chest to deflate.
