The air that you exhale is made up of approximately 16% to 17% oxygen and about 4% to 5% carbon dioxide.
(inhaled air is about 21% oxygen and only 0.04%, a fractional trace, of carbon dioxide)
Inhaled air contains more oxygen than carbon dioxide and other gases. Exhaled air contains mostly carbon dioxide as the inhaled oxygen was used up to create energy. Waste carbon dioxide (and other unwanted gases) is then let out of the body and the cycle continues. :)Gas exchangeGas% in inhaled air% in exhaled airOxygen2116Carbon dioxide0.044Nitrogen7979
Carbon dioxide is removed from the body through a process called respiration. When we breathe, we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is carried in the blood to the lungs, where it is then exhaled out of the body.
The body eliminates carbon dioxide from the bloodstream through a process called respiration. When we breathe, we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is carried in the blood to the lungs, where it is then exhaled out of the body.
The concentration of oxygen in the lungs is higher than the concentration of carbon dioxide. In the alveoli of the lungs, oxygen diffuses into the blood from the air we breathe, while carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled. This exchange allows for the uptake of oxygen and the removal of carbon dioxide from the body.
Respiration is:6 O2 + C6H12O6 -> 6 CO2 + 6 H2OSo the products are carbon dioxide and water vapour
Exhaled air will contain all of the gases in regular air, except that it will have higher percentages of carbon dioxide and lower percentages of oxygen. (It still will have oxygen, or CPR wouldn't work.) It will also have water vapor from our lungs. The main gas in inhaled and exhaled air is nitrogen. This is followed by oxygen, then carbon dioxide, then other gases. Yes, there is still more oxygen exhaled than carbon dioxide, but at a smaller percentage than was inhaled. Chances are that your teacher is looking for the gas, carbon dioxide, as your answer, since that is the product of cellular respiration that is disposed of in exhaled air, but it isn't the main component of exhaled air.
Carbon dioxide.
The hawk is bird not oxygen and the hawk inhaled oxygen and exhaled carbon dioxide.
Yes Carbon and oxygen Carbon dioxide
The chemical name of exhaled breath is carbon dioxide or CO2. The chemical name of inhaled breath is oxygen, or O2.
Oxygen---------- 4-5 % Carbon dioxide---------- 20% Nitrogen--------- 75%
The exhaled gas contain nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide.
The exhaled gas contain nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide.
The exhaled gas contain nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Exhaled air has higher levels of carbon dioxide and lower levels of oxygen compared to inhaled air. This is because the body takes in oxygen from the air and releases carbon dioxide as a waste product during the process of respiration.
Oxygen is inhaled and Carbon Dioxide is exhaled.
Oxygen is actually breathed in by animals. It is carbon dioxide which is exhaled by animals. Plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.
