its poop people eating poop in the sky

^no. we breathe in mostly nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. a small percentage of it is oxygen and argon. we take in the oxygen during respiration and use it for energy, thus expelling the unwanted debris as it were of CARBON DIOXIDE, and water vapour. the argon is so small it is not normally measured.

How much nitrogen does humans breathe out?

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.


Name a gas whose concentration is the same in inhaled air and exhaled air?

Nitrogen is a gas that is present in the same concentration in inhaled and exhaled air, as it is not chemically changed by the body during respiration.


Does inhale air has more oxygen or exhaled air?

Inhaled air has more oxygen compared to exhaled air. When we inhale, we take in fresh oxygen from the environment to use for cellular respiration. As we exhale, we release carbon dioxide and the remaining oxygen that was not used by the body.


What percentage of carbon di oxide in exhaled air is?

Exhaled air typically contains around 4-5% carbon dioxide. The majority of exhaled air is nitrogen, followed by oxygen and then carbon dioxide. This percentage can vary depending on factors such as metabolic rate and lung function.


Which gas does the exhaled air contain?

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.

What makes up most of the exhaled air in vertebrate?

The majority of exhaled air in vertebrates is made up of nitrogen and oxygen, which are the primary components of air. Carbon dioxide, a waste product of cellular respiration, is also present in exhaled air in smaller amounts.


What waste substance is in the air that is exhaled?

For humans, the waste substance is carbon dioxide.

What causes hot breath in humans?

Hot breath in humans is caused by the warm air expelled from the lungs during breathing. This air is heated by the body's internal temperature and can feel warm when exhaled.


Is carbon dioxide richer in exhaled or atmospheric air?

yes it is the inhaled air is 0.04 %, whereas, of the exhaled air is 4 % (100 times) more


Does exhaled air contain water?

Yes, exhaled air contains water vapor. When we breathe out, some of the water present in our bodies is expelled as vapor along with the carbon dioxide and other gases. The amount of water vapor in exhaled air can vary depending on factors like humidity and hydration levels.


Which air is heavier out of inhaled air and exhaled air?

Exhaled air, which has a slightly higher amount of carbon dioxide, is heavier than inhaled air.


What is vibration due to exhaled air that results in speech is a function?

The larynx (voicebox) is responsible for speech in humans, due to vibrations from exhaled air.


What is the differences between inhaled air and exhaled air?

Inhaled air contains a greater volume of oxygen than carbon dioxide. Exhaled air is the opposite, since after the exchange of gases in the lungs the carbon dioxide in the blood is transferred into the lungs. Exhaled air contains a greater volume of carbon dioxide than oxygen. Also, there is more water vapour in exhaled air than inhaled air.


How much oxygen does exhaled air contains approximately?

A small percent . exhaled air always contains oxygen .
