What happens if not enough oxygen in the water?
If there is not enough dissolved oxygen in water then most things will not be able to live in it.
What is oxygenated water?
Oxygenated water is water that has had additional oxygen introduced into it under pressure.
Why does fire stop under water?
Fire needs oxygen from the air just like we do. When water gets poured on it, it suffocates and goes out.
Why is nitrogen used in an oxygen tank?
its used in an oxygen tank because it can help us breathe under water
White phosphorus is always kept under water?
Because it will spontaneously react with the oxygen in the air.
What happens if not enough oxygen in the water?
If there is not enough dissolved oxygen in water then most things will not be able to live in it.
Why can i not breath under water?
Humans cannot breathe underwater because our lungs do not have enough surface area to absorb enough oxygen from water, and the lining in our lungs is adapted to handle air rather than water.
Where do animals get their oxygen from under water?
Some oxygen gas is dissolved in the water and can be extracted via gills.
Will sodium chloride react with oxygen?
No. Oxygen is not active enough to displace chlorine under ordinary conditions.
Can you live in the water?
If you wear a snorkel with enough oxygen then yes!
What is oxygenated water?
Oxygenated water is water that has had additional oxygen introduced into it under pressure.
Under what conditions do bacteria thrive and reproduce by binary fission?
Bacteria thrive and reproduce by binary fission when: 1- there is enough water 2- there is enough space for the population to grow 3- when their wastes have not accumulated 4- when their is enough oxygen in the air.
What do plants breathe in under water?
dissolved oxygen in water that is absorbed by the gills.
Can a person drown a fish?
If the water does not contain enough oxygen, yes.
How do fish breath in oxygen under water?
Fish "breathe" the dissolved oxygen out of the water using their gills. It turns out that extracting the oxygen is not very easy -- air has something like 20 times more oxygen in it than the same volume of water. Plus water is a lot heavier and thicker than air, so it takes a lot more work to move it around. The main reason why gills work for fish is the fact that fish are cold-blooded, which reduces their oxygen demands. Warm-blooded animals like whales breath air like people do because it would be hard to extract enough oxygen using gills. Humans cannot breathe underwater because our lungs do not have enough surface area to absorb enough oxygen from water, and the lining in our lungs is adapted to handle air rather than water. However, there have been experiments with humans breathing other liquids, like fluorocarbons. Fluorocarbons can dissolve enough oxygen and our lungs can draw the oxygen out.
What is a major source of food and oxygen for animal life in lakes and pounds?
They get food by the plants and animals living under the water and they get oxygen by the oxygen dissolved in the water
How do you get more oxygen under water on poptropica?
ya dont
