Nitrogen is not a compound molecule and does not contain Oxygen. Nitrogen is represented by the letter N in the Periodic Table and exists independently of oxygen. Oxygen and Nitrogen exist together in "air" along with hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and several other gases. The lungs effectively filter oxygen off the "air" (not off nitrogen) with the help of hemoglobin (which is part of the red blood cells), by allowing the oxygen to attach to it.
What else can I help you with?
What is the composition of nitrogen and oxygen in boiled off air and water with the ordinary air?
nitrogen-65% and oxygen-30 to 34%
What picks up oxygen in the lungs?
Bronchi are in the lungs. Off the two bronchi branches are broncioles and off of those are alveoli which take in the oxygen
Why does blood get pumped into the lungs?
It needs to get oxygen from the lungs, or drop off carbon dioxide to exhaled out of the body.
Structures that help fish get oxygen from water?
Mm that would be there Gils fins tails etcetc
What gases do rockets use when they take off?
they are hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen
Where do red blood cells drop off oxygen?
Red blood cells release their oxygen in the capillaries. The oxygen diffuses across the capillary wall to reach the body tissues.
When blood travels to the lungs what gets dropped off?
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.
What are the organs that take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide called?
Lungs
How could you separate liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen?
By fractional distillation. Allow liquid air to get less cold. At around 77.4K, nitrogen will boil off while oxygen will remain liquid. The temperature will begin to rise again when all the nitrogen has boiled off.
Where does blood get rid of carbon dioxide?
No. The red blood cells get oxygen at the lungs, not drop off carbon dioxide.
Can nitrogen put off fire?
Nitrogen itself is not a fire extinguishing agent. However, nitrogen gas can displace oxygen, which is a crucial component for fire to sustain itself. By displacing oxygen, nitrogen can help smother a fire by depriving it of the necessary conditions to burn.
What do red blood cells drop off at the lungs?
Actually, they don't drop off anything at the lungs. They do pick up oxygen. Carbon dioxide is dropped off but it is carried dissolved in the blood itself.
