Partial pressure of a gas applied to respiration is explained by Dalton's Law. It states that in every mixture of gas, each individual gas has its own pressure that makes up the total pressure of gas.

What is the term that is used for the pressure of each gas in a mixture of gases?
The pressure of each gas in a mixture is called the partial pressure of that gas.
How do you explain partial and multiple correlations?
Explain the partial and multiple correlation
Explain the functional importance of the partial vacuum that exists in the intrapleural space?
If not present (and the intra-alveolar pressure equaled atmospheric pressure) the lungs would collapse.
What is the partial pressure of gas in a mixture of gases?
The partial pressure is the pressure exerted by just one gas in the mixture.
What is the partial pressure of a gas pressures in the mixture?
The partial pressure is the pressure exerted by just one gas in the mixture.
What is the partial pressure of a gas in the mixture of gases?
The partial pressure is the pressure exerted by just one gas in the mixture.
What is the partial pressure of a gas in a mixture of a gases?
The partial pressure is the pressure exerted by just one gas in the mixture.
How does a straw work?
As you create a partial vacuum in the top part of the straw, the weight of the entire atmosphere above the glass applies a pressure of 15 PSI on the liquid surface. This pressure pushes the liquid up the straw until the pressure in the straw returns to 15 PSI too. If you keep creating the partial vacuum the air pressure will push the liquid all the way to the top of the straw and out.
NO2 CO2 SO2 is in a bottle the partial pressure of NO2 is 1.25 atm and the partial pressure of CO2 is 2.63 atm if the total pressure of the gases is 11.20 atm what's the partial pressure of SO4?
The partial pressure of SO4 in a bottle of NO2, CO2, and SO2, is 7.32 atm.
What is the basic mechanism of cellular respiration?
At a cellular level it is strictly diffusion by way of partial pressure differences. (With animals that's oxygen disappearing and CO2 appearing within the cell.)
What is the partial of a gas in a mixture of gases?
The partial pressure is the pressure exerted by just one gas in the mixture.
What is the partial pressure of oxygen in Denver?
The Partial Pressure of Oxygen in ambient air in Denver (610mmHg) is 128.1mmHg.
