The atmosphere surrounding earth is 78.08 percent nitrogen, 20.95 percent oxygen, and the other 0.97 percent is composed of trace amounts of argon, carbon dioxide, neon, helium, methane, krypton, water vapor, and atmospheric dust.
its nitrogen and is about 78% but the gas enter in our blood thourgh alveoli is oxygen.
Earths atmosphere is mostly nitrogen (78%) and Oxygen (21%).It is the oxygen that is the essential gas for breathing.
You breath on earth by inhaling the oxygen that produces from trees and plants. Actually oxygen is only one component of what makes air...actually it's priamrily nitrogen.
i think you can find nitrogen in a hot air ballon
It depends on how you define air. Other planets in the solar system have atmospheres, but they have different compositions from Earth's atmosphere, which may or may not be called air. The gas planets have atmospheres made mostly of hydrogen and helium while Venus and Mars have atmospheres made mostly of carbon dioxide. The air we are familiar with is mostly nitrogen and oxygen. When Earth was young it likely had a carbon dioxide atmosphere as well, but through photosynthesis algae took carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere are replaced it with oxygen. More carbon dioxide was removed in bodies of water and deposited as carbonate rocks. The nitrogen, already present in the atmosphere, remained.
No, humans do not need to breathe nitrogen for survival. The air we breathe is mostly made up of oxygen, with only a small amount of nitrogen. Our bodies use the oxygen in the air for respiration, not the nitrogen.
No, humans do not breathe in nitrogen as a part of the air they inhale. The air we breathe is mostly made up of oxygen, with a small amount of other gases like nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
Yes, the air we breathe is mostly nitrogen, making up about 78% of the atmosphere. Oxygen makes up about 21% of the air we breathe, with trace amounts of other gases making up the remaining 1%.
The air we breathe contains 78% Nitrogen and 20% Oxygen. The remainder is Helium and other gases
you breathe in more nitrogen then oxygen because there is 78% n in the air and 21% o in the air
Yes, the air we breathe is mostly nitrogen, with about 78% of the atmosphere made up of nitrogen. Oxygen makes up about 21% of the air, with trace amounts of other gases such as carbon dioxide, argon, and others.
Yes: Because air contains both nitrogen and oxygen and inhaling brings air in gas phase into contact with the lungs, it is impossible to breathe under normal conditions without inhaling nitrogen.
Approximately 78 of the air we breathe is nitrogen.
The air that we breathe in 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other gases. We only need the oxygen though, so we breathe out the other gases with the carbon dioxide that our body produces during respiration. So to answer your question, it is nitrogen, but we breathe it in and then out- we don't use it. The only gas we use is oxygen to breathe.
No, air is mostly nitrogen and oxygen with very very little carbon dioxide (less than 1%)What you exhale is mostly nitrogen, oxygen, and some carbon dioxide.
On average, humans breathe out about 3.5% of nitrogen in exhaled air, which is roughly 78% of the air we breathe in. This nitrogen is not utilized by the body and is simply exhaled back into the atmosphere.
It is normally know as 'air' and air is made up mostly of nitrogen and oxygen. Oxygen is the gas that the body needs to survive.
