The air we breath, at sea level, consists of 21% Oxygen, 78% Nitrogen and the remaining 1% mixed Gases. The human body requires only 4% Oxygen to sustain life, therefore, we breath out approxamately 17% Oxygen and the balance is Carbon Dioxide. =Note: This is why CPR works so well - when ventilating a patient, we are giving that patient 4 times the required Oxygen, and because you're blowing into the lungs, that positive pressure, makes sure that Oxygen creeps into all areas of the lungs.=
What else can I help you with?
Does photosynthesis take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere?
No, Cellular Respiration returns carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere: Photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Light Energy -> Sugar + Oxygen Cellular Respiration: Sugar + Oxygen -> C.R. -> Carbon Dioxide + Water
Does carbon dioxide have 75 percent or 20 percent of the air?
Neither, Nitrogen is 79%, Oxygen is 21% and Carbon dioxide is 0.04%. Carbon dioxide levels have risen from 0.028% at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when we began burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
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.
What are the 4 gases that make up earths atmosphere?
The four most abundant gases in Earth's atmosphere are nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide. Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the atmosphere, oxygen around 21%, argon about 0.9%, and carbon dioxide less than 0.04%.
How do plants and animals mantain the level of oxygen in the atmosphere?
Plants produce oxygen during photosynthesis by using sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Animals, including humans, consume oxygen during respiration to produce energy and release carbon dioxide. This continuous cycle of oxygen production by plants and consumption by animals helps maintain the levels of oxygen in the atmosphere.
What percent of the Martian atmosphere is oxygen?
Mars' atmosphere contains 0.13% oxygen. Over 95% of the atmosphere on Mars is carbon dioxide.
Is there oxygen on Venus if so what percent?
There is no oxygen on Venus as the atmosphere is almost full of carbon dioxide.
What is the amount of gases that the atmosphere is made of?
Earth's atmosphere is made up of the following main gases: nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and argon. There also are minute amounts of neon, helium, and methane. The atmosphere contains about 78 percent nitrogen, 20 percent oxygen, 0.93 percent argon, and 0.039 percent carbon dioxide..
What is the percent of oxyen in the atmosphere?
The Earth's atmosphere has 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95%oxygen, 0.93% argon, and 0.038% carbon dioxide.
Is there a percent of carbon dioxide in oxygen?
No, Carbon dioxide is one compound and oxygen is another.
How is the balance mainted between the volume of carbon dioxide and oxygen in atmosphere?
The balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide is maintained in the atmosphere by the oxygen released by plant during photosynthesis and carbon dioxide released by human ,animal's etc in the atmosphere
What does respiration remove from the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is being released. As you breathe in you inhale fresh oxygen, but as you breathe out your body releases carbon dioxide.
What element does carbon combine with in the atmosphere?
Oxygen. Carbon burns to form carbon dioxide, incomplete combustion with insifficient oxygen will produce carbon monoxide.
What does the carbon dioxide oxygen cycle look like?
The carbon dioxide oxygen cycle, also known as the carbon cycle, involves the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen between living organisms and the atmosphere. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, while during respiration, organisms take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. This cycle helps maintain the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
How much more carbon dioxide is there than oxygen?
There is approximately 2,500 times more carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Earth's atmosphere than oxygen (O2). The concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere is around 20.95%, while carbon dioxide makes up about 0.04%.
Does photosynthesis take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere?
No, Cellular Respiration returns carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere: Photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Light Energy -> Sugar + Oxygen Cellular Respiration: Sugar + Oxygen -> C.R. -> Carbon Dioxide + Water
What three gasses make up 99 percent of the atmosphere?
Nitrogen, oxygen, argon (4th carbon dioxide)
