What are the adaptations of diving mammals to low oxygen concentration?
buhb
What direction will oxygen diffuse?
Diffusion is when a molecules spread from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration so the oxygen will move away from the other oxygen molecules that were in a high concentration to an area with a lower concentration. An example you would relate this to would be if you were to put a drop of food coloring into a glass of water.
Which is a product of the electrolysis of water containing a low concentration of KNO3?
Oxygen and hydrogen gases are released.
Substances like oxygen pass through the cell without the use of energy and move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration?
That is the description of simple diffusion.
Which relative concentrations of elements are found in felsic rock?
A high concentration of aluminum, and a low concentration on iron.
What process does a cell with a low concentration of oxygen will likely gain oxygen molecules from an area with a higher oxygen concentration have to go through?
Diffusion.
Where does oxygen pass into your blood?
Oxygen diffuses into the blood in the lungs and binds to the hemoglobin since the oxygen concentration is high and the carbon dioxide concentration is low. The blood is pumped to the body. The hemoglobin releases the oxygen to the tissues because here, the concentration of oxygen is low and that of carbon dioxide is high.
Where is the lowest concentration of oxygen in the body?
You have low concentration of oxygen in the veins. It is low in right side of the heart. It is supposed to be the lowest before it enters the alveoli of the lungs.
What are the adaptations of diving mammals to low oxygen concentration?
buhb
What is it called when the oxygen in your lungs moves from the air spaces from high concentration to low concentration?
breathing
Where would carbon dioxide concentration be the highest?
The carbon dioxide concentration would be the highest where the oxygen is low.
What is apoxemia?
Apoxemia is an abnormally low concentration of oxygen in arterial blood.
Fermentation reactions generally occur under conditions of?
Low Oxygen Concentration
An abnormally low concentration of oxygen in the bloodstream is called?
it is called Hypoxemic hypoxia
How are the concentration gradients in the alveoli maintained?
The heart is constantly pumping blood around the body. blood entering the lungs is deoxygenated and high in C02 The air in the alveoli has a high oxygen concentration and in comparison is low in C02 This sets up a concentration gradient. This causes oxygen to diffuse into the RBC and C02 to diffuse out in order to try balance the concentration. This balance is maintained by breathing, taking away the C02 in the lungs and bringing in fresh O2 and the constant pumping of blood, bringing more deoxygeneate blood into the lungs
What is it called when oxygen moves from the lungs to the bloodstream?
diffusion - the natural movement of particles from high to low density. oxygen dissolves in a film of liquid water lining the alveoli (tiny air sacs in the lungs) and the wall of the alveoli and wall of the capillary (each 1 cell thick) into the blood in the capillary. the oxygen is moving from the high concentration of oxygen in the lung to the low concentration of oxygen in the blood. this low concentration is maintained in the blood since it continuously flows away and is replaced by oxygen poor blood. the high concentration of oxygen in the lungs is of course maintained by breathing in fresh air.
What direction will oxygen diffuse?
Diffusion is when a molecules spread from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration so the oxygen will move away from the other oxygen molecules that were in a high concentration to an area with a lower concentration. An example you would relate this to would be if you were to put a drop of food coloring into a glass of water.
