Question 22 • Biology

Mira analyzed oxygen and carbon dioxide in inhaled and exhaled air. She found that the percentages of both gases were different in each. What other gas would most likely also have different amounts in inhaled and exhaled air?

Answer
A
water vapor cap h sub 2 cap o
B
hydrogen open paren cap h sub 2 close paren
C
sulfur dioxide open paren SO sub 2 close paren
D
ozone open paren cap o sub 3 close paren

Explanation

Air leaving the lungs contains more water vapor than air being inhaled because it becomes warm and moist in the respiratory tract. Therefore, water vapor (H₂O) would also have different amounts in inhaled and exhaled air. Hydrogen, sulfur dioxide, and ozone are not normally produced in significant amounts during breathing.
