When we breathe in air, our bodies use the oxygen in it for energy and release the nitrogen back into the air when we exhale.

How do trees keep air healthy for us to breathe?

Trees absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release oxygen back into the air. This helps to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and increase the level of oxygen, which is essential for humans and animals to breathe. Additionally, trees filter out pollutants and particulate matter from the air, improving air quality.


Why are the plants useful to us?

Plants and us Plants are our food, they improve our air and they are used to make many things that we need such as medicines, clothes and paper. Trees are cut down and the timber used to build houses and furniture. Plants are useful to us in many ways. We need oxygen in the air we breathe. Plants take in the carbon dioxide gas that we breathe out and turn it into oxygen. Plants keep the air we breathe stocked full of oxygen. Plants are food for us. They give the us the vitamins and minerals we need to grow and stay healthy. =) ~


What is a sentence with the word Breathe?

We need to breathe oxygen to live.He kept telling me to breathe easy. I'd like to see him breathing easy while giving birth.The oxygen tanks allow us to breathe underwater for a while.


What does the nasal cavities do in a human body?

Nasal cavities act as a both a filter and a humidifier, filtering out much of the contaminants in the air that you breathe, and humidifying the air prior to the airs entrance into the lower respiratory tract (trachea, lungs).


What the processes involved in the nitrogen cycle?

plans take them both in and convert them both to a form we (and other animals) can use - sugars and proteins. decomposers are the type of bacteria that break dead things down - so convert the carbon in us to the CO2 form or into organic material in the soil and they also convert the nitrogen in living things into ammonium in the soil. the nitrogen fixing bacteria turn the nitrogen from the soil also into the ammonium. the ammonium is converted into nitrates by nitrifying bacteria which can be then used by plants and then we eat the plants...

What household items have nitrogen?

The air that is all around us has nitrogen in it.


Is the air you breathe nitrogen?

In the air, considering you do not live in a highly industrial area, is about 78% oxygen, 21% oxygen, and 1% water vapor and other things floating around in the air. So yes, you could say the air you breathe is nitrogen, and you could argue that, saying that your body expels all of the nitrogen. All animals (including us) require a minimum amount of oxygen in their system. Plants need carbon dioxide to live, and they breathe out oxygen like we do with carbon dioxide. It's sort of like a trade.


Why is air pollution negative?

because we breathe in the oxygen which is flowing around this earth and when we breathe in this oxygen around us ,we also breathe in air pollution which is not good for all things living on this planet.


What is the air around us?

A mixture of nitrogen and oxygen, mostly.


What does the body take in when you breathe?

The air around us consists of approximately 78% Nitrogen, 0.95% Argon, 0.038% Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapour, Helium and other gases and that is what we inhale.


When we breathe out our breath contains less carbon dioxide but a lot more of another gas. which other gas?

Thank You Judy Olmsted! I really appreciate the answer.


What percent of the air around us is made of nitrogen gas?

80 %


What gas do you breath in?

Assuming we're talking about the air around us, the gas you breathe in is actually a mixture of gases. Roughly 80% of it is nitrogen gas which and a little under 20% of it is oxygen which is the part we need. About 1% of the atmosphere is neither oxygen or nitrogen and crudely speaking is "everything else that's in the air", about 0.05% is carbon dioxide and there are small amounts of xenon, helium, methane etc.


Does nitrogen make up about 50 percent of the air around us?

No, it actually makes up around 80% of the air around us.


The gases oxygen and nitrogen are elements in what?

AirThe air around us is about 21% Oxygen, about 78% Nitrogen and about 1% Argon.


Were do people get their nitrogen from?

From the air around us, since air is composed of 78.08% nitrogen. Nitrogen gas is an industrial gas produced by the fractional distillation of liquid air, or by mechanical means using gaseous air (i.e. pressurised reverse osmosis membrane or Pressure swing adsorption). Commercial nitrogen is often a byproduct of air-processing for industrial concentration of oxygen for steelmaking and other purposes.
