Why animals breathe to stay alive?
It's more efficient. The general term for cells extracting stored energy is "cellular respiration." Despite the name, this doesn't necessarily involve breathing or even elemental oxygen; however, the type that does is a lot more efficient than the type that doesn't. Animals breathe in order to take in oxygen so their cells can use the more efficient pathway.
What types of organisms remove oxygen from the atmosphere?
Animals remove oxygen from the atmosphere.
What are two ways that animals get oxygen?
breathing their lungs and extracting it from water using gills
Why dont animals use up all the oxygen in the atmosphere?
Animals do not use up all the oxygen in the atmosphere because plants produce oxygen. When they breathe, plants inhale carbon dioxide (which is what animals breathe out) and exhale oxygen (which is what animals breathe in).
What is the purpose of inhaling oxygen?
Animals inhale air in order to obtain the oxygen they use for extracting energy from food
Where the animals get the oxygen they need?
Land animals get the oxygen they need from the atmosphere. Most aquatic organisms get oxygen dissolved in the water in which they live, and others, like alligators and crocodiles, get oxygen from the atmosphere. Most Plants Give Out Oxygen, And Plants Are All Around Us.
Which of the atmosphere's gases is most importsnt to humans and animals?
Oxygen
Because they trap oxygen from the atmosphere in the water for animals to breathe?
The lungs are the organs that "trap" oxygen from the atmosphere for animals to breath. Lungs do not really trap oxygen, however, they present a tissue to the oxygen-rich air in which the oxygen may diffuse into, where it can be captured by the hemoglobin in the blood.
How is the oxygen in the atmosphere replaced?
Through oxygen cycle. Humans and animals take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen. This ways the oxygen is circulated in the atmosphere.
How oxygen is your atmosphere?
The atmosphere today is about 21% oxygen. In former times it was different percentages. In dinosaur days, it was closer to 30%, which was a factor in animals growing as big as they did.
How do plants and animals mantain the level of oxygen in the atmosphere?
Animals breathe in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
What was the affect that photosynthesizing had on the ancient atmosphere?
Early bacterial respiration in the ancient atmosphere (see the process of Photosynthesis photo1, and Photo 2 with oxygen waste product) released oxygen into the atmosphere leading to a oxygen rich atmosphere and the ability of other organisms that fix oxygen to evolve. i.e us! and animals.
