Inhaled gas primarily consists of oxygen (about 21%) and nitrogen, while exhaled gas has a higher concentration of carbon dioxide and lower oxygen levels due to the body's metabolic processes. When we inhale, oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream, and carbon dioxide, a byproduct of cellular respiration, is transported back to the lungs for exhalation. Additionally, water vapor is added to the exhaled air as it passes through the respiratory tract, further contributing to the differences between inhaled and exhaled gases.
What else can I help you with?
What gas shows the greatest difference in percentage between inhaled and exhaled air?
Oxygen is the gas that demonstrates the largest difference in percent between air that is inhaled, and air that is exhaled. The symbol for oxygen is O.
What is the chemical name of breath exhaled?
The chemical name of exhaled breath is carbon dioxide or CO2. The chemical name of inhaled breath is oxygen, or O2.
What system provides gas exchange between blood and air?
The respiratory system provides gas exchange between blood and air. This occurs in the lungs, where oxygen from inhaled air diffuses into the bloodstream while carbon dioxide is removed from the blood and exhaled.
How is inhaled air different from exhaled air?
Because the body has used the oxygen in the air to oxidize the nutrients you eat, this process combines the oxygen that you inhaled with carbon which makes up part of the nutrients you eat to form a poisonous gas "carbon-dioxide" which is then transported back to the lungs and exhaled along with moisture.
What gas shows the greatest difference in percent between inhaled and exhaled air?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) typically shows the greatest difference in percent between inhaled and exhaled air. When we inhale, the air we breathe in contains around 0.04% CO2, while the air we exhale can contain around 4-5% CO2 due to the waste gas produced by our body's cellular respiration process.
What gas shows the greatest difference in percentage between inhaled and exhaled air?
Oxygen is the gas that demonstrates the largest difference in percent between air that is inhaled, and air that is exhaled. The symbol for oxygen is O.
Name a gas whose concentration is the same in inhaled air and exhaled air?
Nitrogen is a gas that is present in the same concentration in inhaled and exhaled air, as it is not chemically changed by the body during respiration.
Which gas is more plus abundant in exhaled air than inhaled air?
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
What is the chemical name of breath exhaled?
The chemical name of exhaled breath is carbon dioxide or CO2. The chemical name of inhaled breath is oxygen, or O2.
Is oxygen a organ of the respiratory system?
No, oxygen is not an organ at all. It's a gas. However, it is inhaled and exhaled through the respiratory system.
What system provides gas exchange between blood and air?
The respiratory system provides gas exchange between blood and air. This occurs in the lungs, where oxygen from inhaled air diffuses into the bloodstream while carbon dioxide is removed from the blood and exhaled.
How does concentration of inhaled and exhaled air differ?
Inhaled air contains more oxygen than carbon dioxide and other gases. Exhaled air contains mostly carbon dioxide as the inhaled oxygen was used up to create energy. Waste carbon dioxide (and other unwanted gases) is then let out of the body and the cycle continues. :)Gas exchangeGas% in inhaled air% in exhaled airOxygen2116Carbon dioxide0.044Nitrogen7979
What gas is more abundant in exhaled air than inhaled air?
Nitrogen is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere ( ~ 80% ) and therefore is the dominant species in both inspired as well as expired air.
How is inhaled air different from exhaled air?
Because the body has used the oxygen in the air to oxidize the nutrients you eat, this process combines the oxygen that you inhaled with carbon which makes up part of the nutrients you eat to form a poisonous gas "carbon-dioxide" which is then transported back to the lungs and exhaled along with moisture.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) typically shows the greatest difference in percent between inhaled and exhaled air. When we inhale, the air we breathe in contains around 0.04% CO2, while the air we exhale can contain around 4-5% CO2 due to the waste gas produced by our body's cellular respiration process.
Which gas does the exhaled air contain?
Exhaled air will contain all of the gases in regular air, except that it will have higher percentages of carbon dioxide and lower percentages of oxygen. (It still will have oxygen, or CPR wouldn't work.) It will also have water vapor from our lungs. The main gas in inhaled and exhaled air is nitrogen. This is followed by oxygen, then carbon dioxide, then other gases. Yes, there is still more oxygen exhaled than carbon dioxide, but at a smaller percentage than was inhaled. Chances are that your teacher is looking for the gas, carbon dioxide, as your answer, since that is the product of cellular respiration that is disposed of in exhaled air, but it isn't the main component of exhaled air.
How much nitrogen is inhaled and exhaled air?
The percentage inhaled is roughly 79% but it is only 74% when exhaled. The volume of Nitrogen does not change but the percentage out of all the exhaled gas decreases as there is far more CO2 and Water Vapour. Nitrogen itself not actually used up by the body, it is simply a byproduct of the nitrates and various emissions involved in photosynthesis from plants and various algae that get pumped with whimsical abandon into the atmosphere. Typical trees. Lest not forget the delicate equilibrium between humans and plants.
