Why is unlikely that the disappearing oxygen molecules could have produced a vacuum?
ocd thats how
What would happen to all life forms if there were no oxygen?
Life forms need oxygen in order to carry out the process of respiration. The oxygen breathed in is distributed around the body in the blood stream carrying food and nutrients to the cells. If there was no oxygen this procss could not take place. The life form would become more and more hypoxic and toxic leading to death.
In a sample of oxygen gas at stp which represents the greatest number of molecules?
depending on the answer choices i could possibly answer the question.
How are oxygen levels measured?
Oxygen levels in the blood are measured with a pulse oxymeter that measures by shining a light through the finger tip, with or blood gas tests run in a laboratory. Lab could be venous or arterial, usually arterial.
If the blood leaves the right side of the heart deoxygenated and returns to the left side oxygenated what gas has been added to the blood?
The answer to this very question is simply gas. When blood leaves the heart deoxygenated it immediately goes to the lungs to receive oxygen which is a gas and this gas goes to the left side of the heart.
If a horse has a low RBC in his blood work What does this mean?
RBC is red blood cell count, they carry oxygen through the blood stream, could cause anemia.
What is the term for blue skin from lack of oxygen in the blood?
It could be anemia, or it could be carbon monoxide poisoning.HypoxiaActually, hypoxia can be characterized as cellular oxygen deficiency and may occur if too little oxygen enters the blood. The correct answer would be anemia.Anemiasimply anemiaAnemiasanemiaAnemia is a blood condition where their is either a reduced amount of hemogloblin molecules, or the inability to efficiently bind oxygen molecules to hemoglobin. Hemoglobin molecules are located within red blood cells. As red blood cells pass through the lungs, the hemoglobin unloads carbon dioxide and exchanges it for oxygen. Up to four oxygen molecules can bind to each hemoglobin molecule. Hemoglobin then transports the newly loaded oxygen molecules throughout the systemic portion of the cardiovascular system, where they are once again exchanged for carbon dioxide at the tissues (and the oxygen is unloaded into the tissues). Individuals with anemia cannot transport adequate amounts of oxygen to tissues because their is either not enough oxygen molecules bound to hemoglobin, or the hemoglobin are not properly functioning as they should. Amemia is the most common type of blood disorder. Hope this helps!anemiaanemia
How would a diet deficient in iron affect the amount of oxygen taken by the blood?
The person on such a diet may become anaemic and fail to make the red pigment in the blood (haemoglobin) that carries the Oxygen in the blood. As such the person's body would become starved of Oxygen as the blood could not carry it round the body.

Which carry deoxygenated blood veins or arteries?
Veins do carry deoxygenated (oxygen-poor) blood into the heart. Superior and inferior vena cava carry the oxygen-poor blood to the heart; blood enters into the right atrium. Contraction of the atria forces the blood into the ventricles. From right atrium to right ventricle is the way for the oxygen-poor blood, from where the ventricular contraction forces it further into the Pulmonary trunk, from which the blood enters the lungs, via the pulmonary arteries. In the lungs the blood gets re-oxygenated through the gas-exchange process. More info could be found on related links.
How is the circulatory system like a paper boy?
As an analogy, you could say that the paper boy is like a red blood cell, he goes to the paper shop or depot to fill up his bag (hemoglobin molecule), which is like blood cells going to the lungs to pick up oxygen molecules. Then he gets on his bike and travels around the streets, which are like the blood vessels, to the houses, which are like the tissues of the body. He delivers the papers (oxygen molecules) to the houses (tissues of the body) then he goes back to the papershop (lungs) to get more papers (oxygen molecules
How much ozone can you make with 9 oxygen particles?
The term "oxygen particles" is not well defined, since it might refer to either oxygen atoms or oxygen molecules. Chemists would never describe oxygen in terms of particles, they would be specific. Ozone is the O3 molecule, containing 3 oxygen atoms. If you had 9 oxygen atoms you could make three ozone molecules. But if you had 9 oxygen molecules, you could make 6 ozone molecules, since the oxygen molecule is O2 and contains two oxygen atoms.
Describe each parts of circulatory system?
There are 3 parts the heart, the blood, and the blood vessels.HEART: the function of the heart is to pump the blood and so the blood could keep moving through out your whole body.THE BLOOD: the blood you have in your body carries nutrients, water, oxygen and waste products to form your body cells.THE BLOOD VESSELS: there are three types of blood vessels Arteries, Capillaries and the VeinsArteriesArteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen rich blood AWAY from the heart. Remember, A A Arteries Away, A A Arteries Away, A A Arteries Away.CapillariesCapillaries are tiny blood vessels as thin or thinner than the hairs on your head. Capillaries connect arteries to veins. Food substances(nutrients), oxygen and wastes pass in and out of your blood through the capillary walls.VeinsVeins carry blood back toward your heart.
What is an important element in red blood cells?
Iron is bound to the center of hemoglobin, which transports oxygen. Depending on the meaning of element in the question, it could be Iron(most likely) or hemoglobin. ADDED: It is the iron: 4 iron molecules held within the haemoglobin molecule's hydrocarbon lattice. The oxygen binds physically to the Fe without reacting chemically.

Is iron necessary for oxygen transport in red blood cells?
True. Iron is necessary in the transportation of oxygen in red blood cells, it is the iron molecules that binds the oxygen molecules to the cell, if you have an iron deficiency (anaemia) it means that your blood isn't carrying enough oxygen around your body. This can cause fatigue as well as other health problems.Note:Humans have iron-based hemoglobin, which gives their blood a red color. Most molluscs and arthropods use hemocyanin, a substance that uses copper in stead of iron, to bind and transport oxygen. So technically, iron is not needed: other substances could perform the same function. The blood would not be red though: in molluscs and arthropods, the blood has a green/blueish tint.
What are the major part and function of the circulatory system?
There are 3 parts the heart, the blood, and the blood vessels. HEART: the function of the heart is to pump the blood and so the blood could keep moving through out your whole body. THE BLOOD: the blood you have in your body carries nutrients, water, oxygen and waste products to form your body cells. THE BLOOD VESSELS: there are three types of blood vessels Arteries, Capillaries and the Veins Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen rich blood AWAY from the heart. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels as thin or thinner than the hairs on your head. Capillaries connect arteries to veins. Food substances (nutrients), oxygen and wastes pass in and out of your blood through the capillary walls. Veins carry blood back toward your heart.
