Do animals need nitrogen to breathe?
No, in fact most early spacecraft the test animals, astronauts, or cosmonauts breathed pure oxygen. This was stopped after the Apollo-1 fire, which was attributed to defective wiring and a pure oxygen atmosphere. After that some nitrogen was added as a safety feature against fire.

Oxygen is breathed in by the what?
Oxygen is breathed in by the respiratory system through the process of inhalation. It is then absorbed into the bloodstream through the lungs and transported to the cells in the body where it is used in cellular respiration to produce energy.
Explain why the pilot can breathe pure oxygen without negative side effects?
Pure oxygen is very harmful to humans at pressures higher than ground level, with the effects becoming worse the higher the pressure - ie. when scuba diving. At lower pressures, such as the cockpit of a plane at altitude, pure oxygen becomes much safer to breathe, to the point some astronauts have breathed it for around 2 weeks (at low pressure) with no detrimental effects.
Is oxygen pure or a mixture?
Oxygen is an element and a pure substance.
What is called the flow air into the lungs and out the lungs?
Oxygen is breathed in and carbon dioxide is breathed out as it is deadly to humans. Too much carbon dioxide breathed in will cause brain damage and eventually death.
What is the average amount of oxygen we breathe in?
About 20%% of the air we breath is oxygen. The PaO2 (oxygen breathed in mmhg) is approximately 100 mmhg.
How do you find pure oxygen?
Canisters of pure oxygen can be purchased from chemical supply companies. You can also produce pure oxygen through electrolysis of water into hydrogen and oxygen.
