What is it about us that we breath in oxygen which has 16 protons and produce carbon dioxide which has 22 protons and vice versa with plants?
We breathe in air and breathe it out. Oxygen (O2) is picked up from the air in our lungs and carbon dioxide (CO2) is released into that air to be exhaled. This is simply gas exchange that is essential for life. The number of protons in an atom identifies which element it is. (And only that, by the way.) Would it be helpful to say that hemoglobin, the component of red blood cells that transports the oxygen, has an atom of iron in it, and that the iron has 26 protons it its nucleus? It is sufficient to say that hemogloben is an iron based metaloprotein that is responsible for oxygen transport in the blood of vertebrates. Adding a "proton count" doesn't really clarify the points made. It may actually act to confuse things. If the question were looked at as a comparison between animal and plant respiration, the "chosen gas" the organism will want to pick up is selected based on what chemical processes are necessary for life in the cells of the two organisms. We need O2 to survive. Plants need CO2 in the process of photosynthesis. And each happens to be expiring what the other needs. Is there a "balance" of sorts there?
What else can I help you with?
Does wave energy create carbon dioxide?
No, wave energy does not directly create carbon dioxide. It is a renewable energy source that generates electricity using the kinetic energy of ocean waves, which is clean and does not produce carbon dioxide emissions during operation.
Why do trees help us breathe?
We produce carbon dioxide which we release into the atmosphere when we exhale. Trees absorb the carbon dioxide and in turn produce oxygen, which we need to breath. Green plants are the world's best air purifiers!
How many protons does an atom of carbon have?
An atom of carbon has 6 protons.
Number of protons in carbon?
there are 6 protons in carbon trust me I'm doing some Homework on it...YOUR WELCOME
What is the job of breathing?
The job of breathing is to bring oxygen into the body and remove carbon dioxide from the body. Oxygen is needed for cells to produce energy through a process called respiration, and carbon dioxide is a waste product that needs to be expelled.
How does photosynthesis produce oxygen?
they breath in carbon dioxide and breath out oxeygen for us to breath or if not we couldn't breath
What produes carbon dioxide?
Humans and animals produce carbon dioxide (CO2). They breath in oxygen, and in the mitochondria of cells, it creates carbon dioxide.
Why do you breath out more carbon dioxide then you breath in?
You produce carbon dioxide through cellular respiration when you breath in air. Cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide from converting oxygen into it through a long process and also produces energy.
How does plants get the carbon dioxide?
Plants get carbon dioxide from the air we exhale. We breath out carbon dioxide and plants give us oxygen. So when we breath oxygen the air that we exhale is carbon dioxide that goes to plants.
Do you breath out carbon dioxide?
Yes, one of the waste products of cellular respiration is carbon dioxide (six molecules of carbon dioxide to be exact), as well as six molecules of water.
Where can you find a cell that gives off oxygen and carbon dioxide?
well plant cells produce oxygen naturally and when placed in an environment without light they will also breath and produce carbon dioxide so in a way they will produce both
Are high levels of carbon dioxide bad?
well, you don't breath carbon dioxide, you breath oxygen
What gas plant do produce that animal use?
carbon dioxide that plant use
Does the sun breathe?
No. As far as I know the sun doesn't breath. It might produce carbon dioxide though.
Does helium produce carbon dioxide?
No, helium does not produce carbon dioxide. Helium is an inert gas and does not react chemically with other substances to produce carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is produced from the combustion of carbon-containing compounds.
How are plants different than humans?
the Photosynthesi does not allow the ability of a plant cell to prouduce solar energy in carbon dioxide
Why isn't it correct that we breathe in only oxygen and breathe out only carbon dioxide?
Because when you breath, you breath air which is 80% nitrogen and 20% oxygen. Also the air you breath out still has oxygen in it, you do not use all the oxygen and only produce a small amount of carbon dioxide in each breath.
