Carbon dioxide is an end product of the matabolism in humans and other higher animals. Sugars, fats and amino acids are broken down to produce energy for the body and carbon dioxide is an unwanted by-product which is returned to the lungs and exhaled.
What else can I help you with?
Which air is heavier out of inhaled air and exhaled air?
Exhaled air, which has a slightly higher amount of carbon dioxide, is heavier than inhaled air.
What gasses are taken in the body?
Oxygen is inhaled and Carbon Dioxide is exhaled.
Why inhaled gases is different from exhaled gases?
Inhaled gases is oxegen and exhaled gases you CAN'T brethe in because it's carbon dioxide.
How does the oxygen and carbon dioxide content of exhaled air differ from inhaled air?
Exhaled air has higher levels of carbon dioxide and lower levels of oxygen compared to inhaled air. This is because the body takes in oxygen from the air and releases carbon dioxide as a waste product during the process of respiration.
Is Hawk Oxygen or Carbon dioxide?
The hawk is bird not oxygen and the hawk inhaled oxygen and exhaled carbon dioxide.
Does exhaled air contain more carbon dioxide or oxygen?
Carbon dioxide.
How does concentration of inhaled and exhaled air differ?
Inhaled air contains more oxygen than carbon dioxide and other gases. Exhaled air contains mostly carbon dioxide as the inhaled oxygen was used up to create energy. Waste carbon dioxide (and other unwanted gases) is then let out of the body and the cycle continues. :)Gas exchangeGas% in inhaled air% in exhaled airOxygen2116Carbon dioxide0.044Nitrogen7979
What does exhaled air contain more of than inhaled air?
More Oxygen, because some of it is processed into Carbon Dioxide (CO2).
What is the chemical name of breath exhaled?
The chemical name of exhaled breath is carbon dioxide or CO2. The chemical name of inhaled breath is oxygen, or O2.
How long does carbon dioxide stay in your system after being inhaled?
Carbon dioxide is typically exhaled from the body within a few seconds to a few minutes after being inhaled.
Which gas does the exhaled air contain?
Exhaled air will contain all of the gases in regular air, except that it will have higher percentages of carbon dioxide and lower percentages of oxygen. (It still will have oxygen, or CPR wouldn't work.) It will also have water vapor from our lungs. The main gas in inhaled and exhaled air is nitrogen. This is followed by oxygen, then carbon dioxide, then other gases. Yes, there is still more oxygen exhaled than carbon dioxide, but at a smaller percentage than was inhaled. Chances are that your teacher is looking for the gas, carbon dioxide, as your answer, since that is the product of cellular respiration that is disposed of in exhaled air, but it isn't the main component of exhaled air.
What gas shows the greatest difference in percentage between inhaled and exhaled air?
Oxygen is the gas that demonstrates the largest difference in percent between air that is inhaled, and air that is exhaled. The symbol for oxygen is O.
