oluwaseyi1759:
The air we breathe contains ---

78% Nitrogen

21% Oxygen

And less than 1% of other gases like inert gas.

Whenever we breath, We inhale air normally and what is needed most of these constituents of the air is OXYGEN.. Oxygen gets to the lungs and moves into the blood and during this process carbon dioxide is removed through exhalation.

Other gases like nitrogen are unreactive and are exhale out.. So also for inert gases.

Ok,tnk u
