What else can I help you with?
What nutrient takes up more than half your body weight?
Water takes up more than half of the body weight.
Why can carbon dioxide diffuse in the body 20 times faster than 0xygen?
This is because Carbon dioxide is about 25 times more soluble in water than oxygen at body temperature. Carbon dioxide is more soluble because a chemical reaction takes place with water when it dissolves forming Carbonic acid when combined with water. There is no chemical reaction taking place when oxygen dissolves in water.
What does decaying matter in water bodies cause?
Decaying matter is natural in a body of water, it is natural in any environment. However a large amount of decaying matter in a body of water could lead to a dead zone. This is because if there is a disruption in the food web of that body of water it could kill many organisms. If many animals die, the decaying takes more oxygen out of the water than can be replaced and you are left with a body of water that has no oxygen called a dead zone.
Which organ system takes oxygen out of the air?
In air breathing animals, the lings are the organ system that takes in air and extracts oxygen for distribution through the circulatory system. In water breathing animals, the gills perform this function. Those smaller animals that have neither lungs nor gills usually have a system for direct absorption of oxygen from the air, or water.
Does water provide a person with more oxygen at high altitude?
Water does not directly provide a person with more oxygen at high altitude. However, staying hydrated can help maintain optimal oxygen levels in the body by supporting proper circulation and preventing dehydration, which in turn can help mitigate some of the negative effects of high altitude.
Is there more oxygen in shallow water then deep water?
No. There is more oxygen in deeper water.
Why do you yawn when you are sleepy?
You yawn when you are sleepy because that is when you take in the least oxygen. Your body takes in more oxygen when you are yawning, which explains the reason to why you take in air when you yawn.
What has more oxygen salt water or fresh water?
Freshwater has more oxygen than salt water but oxygen is more solublein fresh water.
Does it take more oxygen to breath when you are hot or cold?
It generally takes slightly more oxygen to breathe when you are hot, as your body tries to regulate its temperature by increasing your breathing rate. This helps dissipate heat and maintain thermoregulation.
More oxygen sea water than river water?
Oxygen is more soluble in fresh water than it is in sea water, therefore there is more dissolved oxygen in river water than sea water.
If one takes a deep breath while in water will he float with more or less of his body out of water?
Taking a deep breath while in water will make a person more buoyant, causing them to float with more of their body out of the water. This is because the volume of air in the lungs increases, creating more lift.
What does your body do when you need more oxygen in your system?
When oxygen sensors in the brainstem are triggered by low levels of oxygen in the bloodstream, yawning tends to ensue. Yawning is the body's way of increasing oxygen intake, involuntarily, naturally.
