Up or down? Up and you get giant insects and frequent fires. Down and you get animals running out of air (and dying).

How does increase of CO2 levels affect photosynthesis?
Up to a point, an increase of the reactant Carbon dioxide will increase the production of oxygen (increase the rate of photosynthesis). However, it will eventually change the ratio of CO2 and water as the CO2 increases, and the production of oxygen will decrease, (or in other words, the rate of photosynthesis decreases). This is one of the reasons why an increase of CO2 levels in the atmosphere is dangerous, as oxygen levels will decrease.
A decrease in the blood's ability to transport oxygen is called what?
The correct name for low levels of oxygen in the blood is hypoxaemia. Low levels of oxygen in the body tissues is called hypoxia
How do living things use oxygen?
Animals take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
What percentage of oxygen is there in a living thing?
It varies from living thing to living thing.
What was the impact that the addition of oxygen to the atmosphere had on the organisms that lived on earth?
To the organisms that produced the oxygen as a waste gas of a anaerobic metabolism, the impact was bad and severely impacted them to the point of extinction. They are now the extremeophiles. To the developing anaerobes of the seas this addition of great amounts of oxygen was the impetus to their adaptive radiation all through the oceans of the earth. No until plants emerged did gas exchange change somewhat again.
What impact would the change in oxygen levels have on living things?
If the number of factories increase and the amount of the burning of fossil fuels increased, then it would severely affect our atmosphere. This would decrease the oxygen levels on Earth which would lead to dying organisms as well as ourselves since we rely on oxygen.
What color does your blood turn when oxygen drop?
Bluish/purplish if a person is dead. Living people with low oxygen levels will look pale.
How do the levels of oxygenchange as you ascened Mt. Everest?
The oxygen levels change on Mount Everest during the acent because you are climbing into thinner air where there is less oxygen. Read the article given as a link.
What are the permissible levels of oxygen can a human consume?

How are oxygen levels affected by respiration?
Oxygen levels will be decreased.
Which of earth's atmospheric gases is most important to living things?
Both oxygen and nitrogen are equally important to living things. Oxygen is necessary for metabolism to continue. But too much oxygen is poisonous. So the presence of nitrogen keeps the oxygen levels low enough to avoid poisoning.
What happens if levels of carbon dioxide or oxygen in your body change?
if the oxygen levels are too low, your muscles won't get the oxygen they need from the blood cells. if the carbon dioxide levels are too high, well, carbon dioxide is a waste product, the same thing will happen. this is why when you hold your breathe you pass out. if the muscles don't get the oxygen they need they can't move.
Do most living things need oxygen to change food into energy?
yes this is true
Is it true most living things need oxygen to change food into energy?

What is oxygen depletion?
When oxygen levels in water get low... When algae takes over a lake. The oxygen levels will get low.
What caused oxygen levels to change in the permian period?
the amount of animals breathing in the oxygen, and not enough plants.
Why do catfish survive in low-oxygen levels better than trouts?
it is because catfish can survive in low-oxygen levels. Trout survives at higher oxygen levels
