The air we breathe in, or inhaled air, primarily consists of about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and small amounts of carbon dioxide and other gases. In contrast, exhaled air contains approximately 78% nitrogen, around 16% oxygen, and a higher concentration of carbon dioxide (about 4%) along with water vapor. The significant difference lies in the reduced oxygen levels and increased carbon dioxide levels in exhaled air, reflecting the gas exchange that occurs in the lungs during respiration.

Explain why levels of nitrogen are why levels of nitrogen are the same in air breathed in as air breathed out?

When we breathe in, we inhale air that contains nitrogen. This nitrogen enters our bloodstream but is not utilized by the body. When we breathe out, the nitrogen is simply released back into the air because our bodies do not extract or alter nitrogen during the breathing process. Therefore, the levels of nitrogen in air breathed in and breathed out remain the same.
