What conditions characterize atmosphere III?
nitrogen-rich and oxygen-poor
What do Proterozoic-aged red beds and banded iron formations tell us about the Earth's early atmosphere?
Banded iron formations indicate that there were oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor episodes during Earth's early atmosphere. Banded iron formations first appear in the Archean, 3 billion years ago. Unbanded iron deposits (red beds) from the Proterozoic, 1.8 billion years ago, indicate that the atmosphere became oxygen rich and that oxygen-poor episodes were no longer prevalent.
Percentage of oxygen in air?
Oxygen comprises about 21% of fresh air. Room air is nearly always refreshed from outsides sources sufficiently fast for this value to hold true. However, if ventilation is extremely poor it can differ.
Where does earth oxygen come from?
The majority of our oxygen is made by plants. The chlorophyll reaction (photosynthesis) splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen is used by the plant to make more complex biochemicals. The oxygen is a waste product. By far the majority of this activity is done by tiny plants in the oceans - perhaps 80%. In primeval times, before photosynthesis had been invented by the plants, the Earth's atmosphere was oxygen poor, and rich in CO2 and methane. This can be discovered by analyzing ancient rocks. If you wish to follow this thread further, look up 'snowball earth' in a reliable reference source.
What can decrease the amount of dissolved oxygen in water?
Sometimes, water can become overheated, like if it is near a factory or power plant. If the water's temperature increases, then the Dissolved Oxygen (DO) level will decrease, which can cause strain or even death for many fish and marine wildlife.
Where does oxygen poor blood first enter the heart?
somewhere
Blood that is oxygen poor?
Venous blood is oxygen poor (in comparison with arterial blood).
What color is oxygen-poor blood?
Oxygen-poor blood is dark red; oxygen-rich blood is bright red.
What does peripheral vein carry to the extremities oxygen rich or oxygen poor blood?
Oxygen poor blood
Does the pulmonary artery in adults carry oxygen rich blood or oxygen poor blood?
poor
Do we have oxygen poor blood in your lungs?
no you have oxygen high blood.
Where does an artery carry oxygen poor blood?
The pulmonary artery carries oxygen poor blood and the pulmonary vein carries oxygen rich blood.
What would most likely to happen if the aorta were partially blocked?
not enough oxygen poor blood would enter the heart
What would be most likely to happen if the aorta were partially blocked?
not enough oxygen poor blood would enter the heart
Why is it important for your heart to separate oxygen rich blood from oxygen poor blood?
If the oxygen-rich blood and the oxygen poor blood mix the amount of oxygen becomes diluted. The cells and tissues need more oxygen than they will get.
Which heart chambers have oxygen-poor blood?
The right chambers have oxygen poor blood. The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body circulation, and the right ventricle pumps it to the lungs.
Why is it important for your heart to keep oxygen rich blood separate from oxygen-poor blood?
If the oxygen-rich blood and the oxygen poor blood mix the amount of oxygen becomes diluted. The cells and tissues need more oxygen than they will get.
