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.
Is liquid oxygen same as regular oxygen?
Liquid oxygen is oxygen that has been cooled to extremely low temperatures so that it condenses.
Are low cholesterol levels and high cholesterol levels as bad as each other?
It is easier to raise your cholesterol if its too low rather than lower it. So based on that I would say that higher cholesterol is worse than too low.
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.
How does smoking affect carbon dioxide levels?
Smoking increases carbon monoxide levels in the blood as opposed to carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide ties up hemoglobin so that smokers have lower blood oxygen levels. Chronic inflammation has been linked to the high levels of carbon dioxide that smokers breathe in as it is 200 times the atmospheric rate.
If you have raised CO2 in the body does that mean your oxygen saturations would be lower and work of breathing would increase?
Oxygen is used to metabolize carbohydrates and produces carbon dioxide. In addition an increased rate of respiration will lower carbon dioxide levels while increasing oxygen concentrations to saturation. Despite this they are two independent parameters. If someone were to be at a high altitude they could have almost no C02 in their blood, be breathing rapidly and have low oxygen levels. Similarly carbon monoxide will bind strongly to hemoglobin so that oxygen levels will go down, but since except at very low levels of oxygen, breathing will remain unchanged as CO2 levels, which drive the rate of respiration normally will be unchanged.
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.
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.
Do algae grow in high or low oxygen levels?
As has been proven so many times in a wide variety of places Algae will grow anywhere it can regardless of local conditions
Is liquid oxygen same as regular oxygen?
Liquid oxygen is oxygen that has been cooled to extremely low temperatures so that it condenses.
What does it mean when you have a low Lactic Dehydrogenase level?
not an epert but here is what I know: Low Lactic dehydrogenase means that you have low concentration of the enzyme that converts pyruvate (end product of glycolysis) into Lactate. This reaction occures when there is low or no oxygen levels (anaerobic conditions) and during times when our body needs energy (ATP) fast. EX. Sprinting away from a car chasing you. So having low lactic dehydrogenase would mean ultimately having low energy levels.
What is the lowest oxygen level humans can be in?
Ans: Less than ~8%.....During sleep the requirements are the least so you could last longer. Air is made up of ~20% oxygen...going to an altitude of 10kft its important to have added oxygen to prevent hypoxia.
Anaerobic respiration requires low levels of oxygen?
Anaerobic respiration occurs only in the absence of O2. When O2 is present, aerobic processes take over; so it can be said that O2 'poisons' anaerobic biochemistry.
Why are deciduous forests important for animals?
probably because as there are no leaves at certain times in the year, no photosynthesis can occur, so therefore the oxygen levels will be low and they need animals to keep them surrounded with carbon dioxide.
Does low iron affect weight?
Having enough iron may help you lose weight as opposed to having low iron serum levels. Iron is essential to your body for making hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a transporter of oxygen in your body. So, the more iron, the more hemoglobin which will increase oxygen transport and thus the breakdown of complex sugars, which are carbohydrates. So, yes it can help boost your metabolism.
Why would oxygen level be low in infant?
The oxygen level for an infant can be low if they are having breathing problems. They should be checked by a doctor as soon as possible.
Can low hemoglobin cause muscle pain?
Yes, low hemoglobin can cause muscle pain. Hemoglobin is a protein and is attached to red blood cells. Its job is to carry oxygen to the body's tissues. Without oxygen the tissues (including muscle) experience ischemia which is painful. Ischemia is what causes the pain a person has when they have a heart attack, for instance. So if a person's red blood cells are not carrying oxygen (because their hemoglobin levels are low enough), they would have muscle pain.
