What is the relationship in respiration between Oxygen consumed and time?

as time incereases, more oxygen is consumed because the germinating peas continue to respirate, consuming oxygen.


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.


Importance of air?

"Air" is the most important cycle that exists between the atmosphere and earth, e.g. a sustained cycle between plants on earth and the air we breathe, and humans. Air is important as a natural resource because we AND plants must breathe. Plants use carbon dioxide which humans breathe out. Humans breathe in oxygen, which plants give off. Without these two components of "air" or if these became out of balance, both plants and humans would die.


Explain the relationship between the processes of breathing and respiration?

Breathing is the process of air moving in and out of the lungs. Respiration is the movement of oxygen from the air into cells within tissues of the body; along with the movement of carbon dioxide from the tissues of the body to the air outside the body.


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

In a closed room how oxygen?

Oxygen exists if you are on planet earth in any space that has air. The same amount of oxygen exists in a room with a closed door as in a room with an open door.

the higher you are, the higher the air pressure, thats why airoplanes cant go too high, there is less oxygen and more air pressure

What are two ways that air exists?

Air exists in two main forms: as a gas mixture comprising primarily of nitrogen, oxygen, and traces of other gases in the atmosphere, and as pockets or bubbles trapped within liquids such as water.


Are oxygen and ozone chemically different from each other?

Slightly. "Oxygen" as it exists in the air, or if you buy a tank of it, is O2--two oxygen atoms bonded together. "Ozone" is O3--an unstable "allotrope" of oxygen.


How do you think ingenhousz showed that it was dephlogisticated and not fixed air?

Ingenhousz demonstrated that oxygen (dephlogisticated air) was produced during photosynthesis by showing that plants release this gas in the presence of light. This was different from fixed air (carbon dioxide) because plants were observed to only release oxygen in the light, suggesting a direct relationship between the presence of light and the production of oxygen.


What is the difference between burning steel wool in air and burning it in a pure oxygen?

burns faster in pure oxygen as the percentage of oxygen is less in air
