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.
What happens when muscles don't get oxygen?
whan your muscles dont get oxygen the dont work or they dont work properly.
Is oxygen's reactivity high or low?
Oxygen stays as diatomic molecules in the atmosphere. These 2 oxygen atoms are bond with a double bond. So reactivity of oxygen is low.
What does blood do with oxygen?
stores it, and carries it to vital organs and muscles that need it.
When will oxyhemoglobin releases more oxygen?
when it reaches tissues and cells that are low on oxygen
Do your muscles run low on oxygen?
Yes. When your muscles don't get enough oxygen they must obtain oxygen through a process called lactic acid fermentation. The lactic acid that forms as a result causes a burning sensation.
Why cant you run for as long if you have less oxygen in your blood?
because your blood carries oxygen to you muscles. without much oxygen blood won't be able to take lots to your muscles, and with little oxygen your muscles won't work as well and therefore you won't run as quickly :)
Why does your tongue get sore when you have low iron?
because the tongue is a muscle. Low iron causes the hemoglobin (what binds oxygen to red blood cells) to be low. This leads to the muscles not getting enough oxygen. When muscles do not get enough oxygen they tend to ache and cramp easily.
What happens when muscles are exercised without sufficient oxygen?
well if muscles run out of oxygen you might slow down and not breath proppely and you might also die.
Why do your pulse rate increase when you are running?
Your muscles need oxygen to work and oxygen is carried through the blood, propelled by the heart. When you run, you use muscles and your heart beats faster to increase the amount of oxygen reaching the muscles being used.
What do muscle cells run low on after a workout?
Muscle cells need more oxygen when they are working hard. When you are working very hard and you begin to respire anaerobically (when the muscles don't get enough oxygen so work without it) your muscles produce a bi product of lactic acid, which is what makes them ache.Your muscles need oxygen to break down this acid into water and carbon dioxide, and this is called an oxygen debt.That is why you keep breathing heavily after you have stopped doing the activity.
During strenerous activity muscle cells run low on what?
Oxygen
What do muscule cells run low on?
Mostly just oxygen and water.
How do muscles get energy when there is low levels of oxygen?
They can get some energy out of glycolysis, or the splitting of glucose into pyruvate, and the pyruvate can be fermented into lactic acid, producing more energy. This lactic acid is why your muscles get sore after oxygen deprivation.
When does fermentation place in your muscles cell?
Fermentation take place in your muscle cell when there is a low supply of oxygen. This is mostly after long hours of workouts which strain the muscles.
What is the type of fermentation used by human muscles in low oxygen conditions?
Human muscle cells undergo lactic acid fermentation in low oxygen conditions.
Why will your heart beat faster after you run?
- Muscles require oxygen to function - When running, you are working muscles - Blood carries oxygen, the heart pumps blood When running, as the muscles require more oxygen to work harder, the heart must pump blood around your body quicker, delivering more oxygen to the muscles that require it. The way that the heart does this is to increase heart rate.
