How do oxygen and carbon dioxide amounts remain constant in the air?

The oxygen molecules just get transferred to a different substance. The molecules are all still there, just in a different form. Its called the The Law on the Conservation of Matter -- matter cannot be either created or destroyed. Humans take in O2 and produce CO2, whereas plants take in CO2 and produce O2. This is why in areas where forests have been logged, there is an increase in the amount of CO2, a Greenhouse gas. There isn't necessarily less oxygen, as 20% of the atmosphere is oxygen. In conclusion; nature always balances. Its a natural equilibrium.

Do the alveolar ducts absorb carbon dioxide?
No they absorb large amounts of oxygen into the blood.
Which gases are involve in photosynthesis?
There is only one gas. It is the CO2 gas.
What gas may be required for photosynthesis?
photosynthesis :)
How oxygen and carbon dioxide are carried by the blood?
Mostly nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.
What are the elements in the air?
Nitrogen, oxygen carbon-dioxide, trace amounts of helium and other compounds.
How do rain forest's help the environment?
By containing and capturing huge amounts of carbon dioxide
What constant monitors levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood?
blood vessels
What do oxygen and carbon make?
when carbon oxidizes (mixes with oxygen) it forms carbon dioxide
Why the concentration of carbon dioxide and oxygen remains constant in the atmosphere?
the concentration and of carbon dioxide and oxygen remains constant in the atmosphere because when human throw carbon dioxide out of their body so plants take it and when plants throw oxygen so human take it.
Do the alveolar ducts absorb carbon dioxide?
No they absorb large amounts of oxygen into the blood.
Respiration and photosynthesis keep the levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmosphere?
fairly constant
When a carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide carbon dioxide is the?
Carbon dioxide is the product; oxygen and carbon are the reactants.
Is carbon dioxide oxygen?
No. Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound of carbon and oxygen.
When carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide carbon dioxide is?
When carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide is the product of the reaction.
Does oxygen exist in mars?
Yes, there are trace amounts of oxygen in Mars's atmosphere (less than 1%), and huge amounts of carbon dioxide and water ice that can both be processed into oxygen.
What is carbon dioxide-oxygen?
Oxygen-Carbon Dioxide Cycle- a continuous exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide by plants and animals including human
Which 2 gases are exchanged at the surface of the air sac?
During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged. The plant uses the carbon dioxide for the photosynthesis and expels oxygen.
