When an animal is deprived of oxygen, their body will be unable to produce energy through aerobic respiration, leading to cell damage and potentially death if oxygen deprivation lasts for too long. Without oxygen, the brain is particularly vulnerable, and lack of oxygen can result in irreversible brain damage within minutes. The body will try to compensate by increasing heart rate and trying to take in more oxygen, but prolonged deprivation will eventually lead to organ failure.

When yeast is deprived of oxygen it will convert glucose into what?

When yeast is deprived of oxygen, it will convert glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide through a process called fermentation.


Does breathing stop in 2 3 minutes if the brain is deprived of oxygen?

Breathing doesn't immediately stop if the brain is deprived of oxygen. The brain can tolerate a brief period without oxygen before irreversible damage occurs. However, prolonged oxygen deprivation can lead to loss of consciousness and eventually breathing may stop.


What occurs when the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen?

When the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen, it can lead to a condition called ischemia, which can result in chest pain (angina) or a heart attack (myocardial infarction). This oxygen deprivation can be caused by blockages in the coronary arteries, leading to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.


How do we know that a woodchuck needs a little oxygen during it's winter sleep?

During hibernation, a woodchuck's body temperature drops significantly, which lowers its metabolic rate. Despite this decrease in oxygen demand, a small amount of oxygen is still needed for basic physiological functions to keep the animal alive during its winter sleep. This is why woodchucks are not completely oxygen deprived during hibernation.


What percentage of oxygen is needed for a fire?

A fire needs approximately 16% oxygen in the air to sustain combustion. This is known as the oxygen concentration level for combustion. If the oxygen level drops below this threshold, the fire will be deprived of oxygen and will be extinguished.
