the air goes into your lungs. In your lungs there are billions of tiny air sacs. Surrounding each air sac is a network of blood capillaries. The air sacs and the blood capillaries are separated by a thin membrane. Across this membrane the air sacs give the blood capillaries oxygen and they blood capillaries give the air sacs carbon dioxide. We breathe out this carbon dioxide!

What organ does a fly use to breathe?

Flies breathe through tiny openings on the sides of their body called spiracles. These spiracles lead to a network of tubes called tracheae that deliver oxygen directly to the fly's cells.


The air that you mostly breathe is oxygen carbon dioxide ozone or nitrogen?

The air that we breathe in 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other gases. We only need the oxygen though, so we breathe out the other gases with the carbon dioxide that our body produces during respiration. So to answer your question, it is nitrogen, but we breathe it in and then out- we don't use it. The only gas we use is oxygen to breathe.


What waste does photosynthesis produce?

water and oxygen. Then us humans can use use the water and the oxygen and in return we breathe out carbon dioxide, which plants can use.


Do plants inhale oxygen in respiration?

"Plants" do not possess a diaphragm and thus lack the ability to "inhale", rather they use pores on the surface of the leaf called Stomates. Being able to open and close according to external conditions, Stomates allow plants to exchange airborne gases and play a crucial role in respiration.


Why is photosynthesis necessary in order for us to breathe?

Photosynthesis is necessary for us to breathe because it produces oxygen as a byproduct. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and water and convert them into glucose and oxygen using sunlight. The oxygen released by plants during this process is what we breathe in to survive. Without photosynthesis, oxygen levels in the atmosphere would significantly decrease and make it difficult for us to breathe.
