Oxygen is a gas. In addition, gases other than oxygen are involved in the respiration process - such as carbon dioxide or nitrogen.
During every breath, people inhale the surrounding air, which includes nitrogen, oxygen, some carbon dioxide and a trace smattering of other inert gases. In populated areas, there may also be soot, dust, various industrial chemicals that have been vaporized, viruses, bacteria, fungal spores and a wide variety of odiferous chemicals.
No, not all living things respire. Only organisms that require oxygen to generate energy through the process of cellular respiration, such as animals and most plants, respire. Some organisms, like anaerobic bacteria, can generate energy through other means and do not respire in the same way.
Dissolved gases in water are important for aquatic organisms to respire and survive. Oxygen, for instance, is necessary for the survival of fish and other aquatic organisms, while carbon dioxide is essential for photosynthesis in aquatic plants. Additionally, gases like nitrogen help support the ecosystem by providing essential nutrients for growth.
Amoebas take in oxygen through a process called diffusion, where oxygen molecules move into the cell across its cell membrane. The oxygen then reacts with other molecules in the cell to produce energy for the amoeba to survive and carry out its functions.
The most abundant gases in air by weight are nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%). Other gases like argon, carbon dioxide, and traces of other gases make up the remaining percentage of the air's composition.

Penguins have a respiratory system similar to other birds. They breathe air into their lungs, where oxygen is extracted and carbon dioxide is expelled. Penguins can dive underwater for extended periods of time due to adaptations such as increased oxygen storage capacity and efficient use of oxygen in their muscles.
The atmosphere is a mixture of gases. (78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1% other) Negatively.
Oxygen helps to break down dead materials. Once the oxygen has been broken down, the material will release carbon dioxide and other gases.
Oxygen is an element - it contains no other constituent gases.
Trees are quite important to us humans beings and also to the environment. Trees respire oppositely to the way we do. They take in carbon dioxide (which they can "lock-up" in their wood for long periods of time, which reduces the amount of CO2 in our atmosphere) and they release oxygen which humans and animals use to respire.

The air we inhale is roughly 78% by volume nitrogen, 20% oxygen, 1% argon and 0.04% carbon dioxide, helium, water vapour, and small amounts of other gases.
Amoebas take in oxygen through a process called diffusion, where oxygen molecules move into the cell across its cell membrane. The oxygen then reacts with other molecules in the cell to produce energy for the amoeba to survive and carry out its functions.
21% oxygen 78% nitrogen 1% other gases
There is only oxygen in oxygen. If you mean what gases are present in "air" then it's mostly nitrogen (about 78%), oxygen (about 20%) and argon (.93%) and the other 1.07% is made up of 13 other gases including carbon dioxide and trace amounts of ammonia, to name a few.
