No. We cannot get oxygen from water. The oxygen that forms part of the water itself is locked away in H2O molecules and our bodies have no way of extracting it. Most water does contain dissolved oxygen, but since we do not have gills we cannot extract that either.

What carries food water and oxygen to the body cell?

The circulatory system, which includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood, carries food, water, and oxygen to body cells. Oxygen is carried by red blood cells, nutrients by plasma, and water is distributed throughout the body.


What body compound would have much of the hydrogen and oxygen?

Water (H2O) would have much of the hydrogen and oxygen in the body.


How is temperature related to the levels of dissolved oxygen in a body of water?

Temperature and dissolved oxygen levels in water are inversely related. As water temperature increases, the amount of dissolved oxygen decreases. This is because warmer water holds less oxygen than cooler water. Therefore, higher temperatures can lead to lower oxygen levels in a body of water, which can impact aquatic life.


What can A body of water can be depleted of its oxygen by .?

A body of water can be depleted of oxygen by excessive nutrient runoff (eutrophication), which leads to algal blooms that consume oxygen as they decompose. Pollution from industries or sewage can also introduce harmful substances that reduce oxygen levels in the water. Additionally, temperature changes and natural processes like decomposition can contribute to oxygen depletion.


What is the chemical test for oxygen and water?

The chemical test for oxygen involves relighting a glowing splint in the presence of oxygen, as oxygen supports combustion. The chemical test for water involves reacting it with anhydrous copper sulfate, which turns from white to blue upon contact with water.

What body parts allow fish to get oxygen they need from water?

Fish extract dissolved oxygen from the water by passing the water through their gill slits. Inside the gills is very thin tissue that can 'grab' oxygen right out of the water and put carbon dioxide waste into the water.


If you put hydrogein and oxygen together what do you get?

Why does water usually put out fire?

Water stops oxygen from getting to the flame, and oxygen is the fire's food.


Can water be used to put out fires?

Yes, fire is like us, it needs oxygen to breathe, water has no oxygen molcules, meaning it will put out a fire.


Why cant your lungs pump oxygon around your body?

Your lungs are connected to the outside world, to take in oxygen and put out carbon dioxide (water vapor, etc.); lungs use blood vessels to exchange taken in oxygen with the rest of your body.

Is it true the water in the body distributes oxygen coming from the lungs?

As far as I know, it is the blood of your body that carries oxygen to all of your body parts.

What does the body need to survive?

The body needs water, food, oxygen, and shelter to survive. Water is essential for hydration and bodily functions, food provides energy and nutrients, oxygen is needed for respiration, and shelter protects the body from environmental hazards.


How can a body of water can be depleted of its oxygen?

Water can be depleted of it's oxygen by a number of different ways. Short of putting the water in a vacuum and "sucking" the dissolved oxygen out, oxygen-breathing organisms such as fish take oxygen from the water through respiration, for example. It is unlikely a large body of water to become completely deoxygenated due to the presence of photosynthetic aquatic organisms (plants) and the fact that oxygen is also dissolved in the water at the water's surface.


What part of the body take oxygen that your body needs from the air and put it in your bloodstream?
