What type of bugs live on Kilimanjaro?
There are some at the lower altitudes, but higher you go, the fewer insects are to be found.
What is artificial blood?
Artificial blood is a 'man made' product.It's a special blood cell which can live in people, animals and even sometimes plants.
Why do people who live at low elevation when they travel up into the mountains find themselves breathing heavily even when they are not exerting themselves?
The higher the elevation the less dense the atmosphere and the less oxygen is available. Less oxygen causes you to breathe harder and faster until your body becomes accustomed to it. At very high altitudes, additional oxygen will be required in the form of a tank and mask.
High altitude low temperature why?
That's a trick question, since at VERY high altitudes the trend reverses momentarilly. It's dependant on what the sun can heat: at low altitudes, where the atmosphere is predominantly oxygen and nitrogen, the solid earth itself is the only heat absorber. Hence, the further you get from the warm soil of the earth, the colder you get. At very high altitudes (over 60,000 ft, I believe... higher than any mountain), larger gas molecules like Ozone, Sulfur Dioxide, etc. can absorb some heat. It's still way too cold to live there, though, so I wouldn't recommend it
Does everyone have the same ratio of carbon-14 to stable carbon in their bodies?
No, some people who live in higher elevated areas tend to have more carbon 14 because it doesn't have to travel farther down to where people live.
Is it possible to have naturally thick blood?
People who live in high altitudes (where there is less oxygen available) have more red blood cells to carry oxygen than people who live in lower altitudes (where there is more oxygen available), so their blood is thicker.
People living in higher altitude have more red blood cells than those who live in the lowlands?
the reason for this is there is less oxygen in higher altitudes, therefore they need more red blood cells to maintain oxygen saturation in the blood. jsyk, red blood cells are the transporters of oxygen in the body.
How can high altitudes produce more blood cells?
People who live in higher altitudes have better lung capacity then those at sea level because the air is thinner at higher altitudes so more needs to be drawn in at a time. People who are born on a very hign mountain or plain also produce more red blood cells, to gather more oxygen, than people at sea level.
Why do people who live in the mountains have more blood?
Those living at higher altitudes require more oxygen carrying capacity in their blood since the air is less dense - consequently there is less oxygen in each breath of air. To compensate for this, the body tends to produce more red blood cells to carry the available oxygen.
Why do athletes who live at sea level and then compete at higher altitudes often don't perform as well as those who permanently live at high altitudes?
The simple answer is oxygen starvation. The best athletes train at the higher altitudes because that is where the air is thinner. This forces the human body to work harder, just to expend equivalent energy. People that climb Mt. Everest often suffer from 'altitude sickness' due their lack of conditioning.
What type of bugs live on Kilimanjaro?
There are some at the lower altitudes, but higher you go, the fewer insects are to be found.
The amount of oxygen in the air decreases as altitude increases as you are higher up in the mountains how do people who live in these types of evironments get enough oxygen?
People that live in high altitudes have adapted to being able to live comfortably with less oxygen in the air. This phenomenon is known as full hematological adaptation.
Does your blood thin out When you move south?
Moving south does not necessarily thin your blood, but moving to a lower altitude can. When you live in a higher altitude, your body makes more red blood cells for carrying oxygen to compensate for the fact that the air is thinner. Hence in a way your blood is "thicker" at higher altitudes and "thinner" at lower altitudes. Many areas of the American South, such as Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, and coastal Carolina and Georgia, are very close to sea level and therefore have a lower altitude. Only in this way could moving south "thin your blood". However, in other areas of the world, moving south may not have any effect on your blood cells. Note, "thinner blood" is also an expression that some people use to describe the phenomenon of becoming less accustomed to cold weather after moving south. This is just an expression and is not meant literally.
Why do people who live at high altitudes have rosy cheeks?
because they have high haemoglobin for maintenance of oxygen in body
Why do people who live at high altitude have a lot of red blood cells?
They can't get enough oxygen from the lungs because the oxygen in the air is less; the bright red colour fades; they can't take as much oxygen to the body; the person feels tired and fatigued.
How has the mountain goats respiratory system adapted permantly to different altitudes?
The mountain goats respiratory system is adapted permanently to different altitudes. This is because it is the cellular respiratory system which allows it to survive the low oxygen climate.
Which race has the smallest feet?
people that live in really high altitudes with smaller body frames to adjust to the tempertures and low air
