Question

Using the chemical equation for cellular respiration explain how the amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide inhaled by the lungs is different from the amounts exhaled explain your answer in 1-2 senteces

Answer 1

The amount of oxygen inhaled by the lungs is higher than the amount of carbon dioxide inhaled, as the body needs more oxygen to fuel the respiratory process. In contrast, the amount of carbon dioxide exhaled by the lungs is higher than the amount of oxygen exhaled, as the body produces more carbon dioxide as a byproduct of respiration.
