Greenhouse growers often add carbon dioxide to the air in the greenhouse What is the advantage of doing this?

All plants need carbon dioxide to complete photosynthesis. Mammals take in oxygen and breath out CO2. It is the exact opposite for plants. The stomata on the plants act as lungs for the CO2 to enter the plant. The plant then puts out oxygen into the air. Since plants need CO2 and they are putting out oxygen, extra CO2 in the air will hope the plant grow.


What relationship exists between oxygen gas and air?

Air is approximately 80% Nitrogen, 19% oxygen and 1% others


Why you inhale oxygen only?

when you inhale air into your lungs the concentration of oxygen in the blood can be no greater than that in the air.As the blood reaching the lungs is lower in oxygen there is transfer from the air to the blood stream until the concentrations stabilise.However there is no active transfer.Therefore there will always be Oxygen in exhaled air even if the initial oxygen concentration in the blood is zero as the air oxygen and the blood oxygen will reach a steady state equilibrium


Which process uses oxygen in plants algae and animals?

For starters, algae are plants. Plants never use oxygen. Animals use oxygen in the process of respiration. Decomposers use oxygen in the process of respiration when decomposing plants and animals including algae.


What are the differences between the surrounding air and exhaled air?

The air you breathe out is little changed from the air you breathe in, except that the oxygen content is somewhat lower - your body extracts some (not all) of the oxygen. The exhaled air is the same except for slightly lowered oxygen content.

What takes oxygen and puts in it your bloodstream?

The lungs take in oxygen from the air you breathe. Inside the lungs, oxygen is transferred to red blood cells in the bloodstream through a process called gas exchange in the alveoli. The red blood cells then carry the oxygen to various parts of the body.


What process puts oxygen in to earths atmosphere?

Oxygen is produced through photosynthesis, a process where plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. This process is essential for maintaining the balance of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere.


What component of air is used in the process of burning?

Oxygen is the component of air that is used in the process of burning. It reacts with the fuel to produce heat and light.


What describes a process that does not require oxygen it means without air?

The term for a process that does not require oxygen is anaerobic. Anaerobic processes can take place in environments without air or in the absence of oxygen. This type of metabolism typically produces byproducts such as lactic acid or ethanol.


Why do you use foam to put out a fire?

The foam cuts the connection of fire with air (oxygen) & thus puts out fire.


In which process do plants release oxygen?

During the process of photosynthesis, plants release oxygen into the air. This process is sometimes called the oxygen cycle when it refers to the role of plants in the production of oxygen for the planet.


What substance is removed from the air by living things for respiration?

In the process of respiration OXYGEN is taken in from the atmoshpere and CO2 is released.


What organ processes the air that's to be released into your bllood?

When you inhale air, the oxygen is sent to your heart through pulmonary veins and arteries. The heart then puts the oxygen into the blood, which is sent around the body from the heart.


How can fruit show the presence of oxygen in the air?

When fruit is cut and exposed to air, it undergoes a process called oxidation. Oxygen in the air reacts with enzymes in the fruit, causing enzymes to break down and the fruit to turn brown. This browning process is a visual indicator of the presence of oxygen in the air.


Where does oxygen diffuse into the blood during the process of respiration?

Oxygen diffuses into the blood from the air sacs in the lungs during the process of respiration.
