Is there pressure on the space shuttle?
Yes there is. No pressure would mean a vacuum, and astronauts would not be able to breathe!
Why do people need the atmosphere to live?
The atmosphere contains oxygen that we need to breathe. Without the atmosphere there would be no oxygen to breathe. Also without an atmosphere there would be the vacuum of space and life cannot survive in a vacuum. Just picture living in suits like the astronauts wear.
What will happen if you put a plant in a vacuum?
A plant will die for sure if it is put in a vacuum. Vacuums don't contain air, so a plant won't be able to breathe, and will therefore not survive.
Can turtles breathe in space?
For any creature to be able to breathe, there has to be something to breathe. Space is vacuum, an empty nothing. No creature can get anything from nothing. So no, a turtle wouldn't be able to breathe in space. Unless you provide it with an atmosphere, like in a space station, space ship or a space suit. Then a turtle most likely would breathe just fine.
How living things breathe?
Using a simple vacuum. When the lugs expand they free up space which pulls in oxygen needed to sustain brain activity.
What happens to your lungs in normal breathing?
When you breathe, your diaphragm pulls downward which should create a vacuum within the chest cavity, but instead of that happening, your lungs expand because it is connected to your airway. When you breathe out, your lungs collapse due to your diaphragm returning to its original position.
What is a synonym for sucks?
If you mean sucking through a straw then "slurp" might do or "Move liquid by creating a vacuum" or even "breathe in".If you mean something is no good, then "disappointing" or "unsatisfactory".
Can you smell anything in a vacuum?
The simple answer is no, but there are some interesting points to consider beyond the simple answer.The sense of smell is based on chemical reactions that occur inside a living being. In the case of your question, we assume that the living being is a human, and the chemical reactions occur in an organ called the olfactory bulb, which is more-or-less way up inside your nose. When you smell something, what is happening is that molecules outside your body are entering your nose and interacting with your olfactory bulb. Your brain receives signals from the olfactory bulb and interprets them as smell.Now, a vacuum contains nothing, therefore, not you. If we look at the question too closely it becomes meaningless, because if you're not there, then you definitely can't smell anything.However, if we pretend that you're there in some magical way that doesn't affect the vacuum, and remember that "smell" really is just a reaction in the olfactory bulb, then we can say that a sense of smell could not function in a vacuum, because there are no molecules there to react with the olfactory bulb. This is where the simple "no" comes from.The most interesting points appear when you imagine a vacuum that is almost a vacuum, except for the fact that it contains you. First, you would not be able to breathe. Your breathing is controlled by your diaphragm, a muscle that creates a vacuum inside your lungs. If outside your lungs there is a vacuum, then there are no molecules (of oxygen or anything else) to be brought past your olfactory organs. However, you could contrive to make molecules from your body (skin, hair, anything) go into your nose, in which case, if you were exceptionally sensitive, you might be able to smell yourself.If you want to know what it's like to attempt to breathe in a vacuum, all you have to do is close your mouth, plug your nose, and try to breathe in. That is exactly the experience that you would have if you tried to breathe in a vacuum. Macabre maybe, but interesting.
What is oxyen?
its what you breathe and what plants breathe out while they breathe that out they breathe in carbon diOxide and we breathe it out.
Do you breathe in or breathe out oxygen?
Humans breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Trees "breathe" out oxygen.
What do you breathe when you breathe out?
Humans breathe out carbon dioxide, the whole world runs in a motion, for example plants breathe carbon dioxide, we breathe in oxygen. Even fish breathe oxygen. They take the oxygen out of the water. So we breathe in what plants breathe out and plants breathe in what we breathe out.
When was Breathe Owl Breathe created?
Breathe Owl Breathe was created in 2004.
