What happens when fertilizer gets into pond?
It would decrease the dissolved oxygen because it would stop the plants from making oxygen.
Does a lake or a river contain more dissolved oxygen?
the river would contain more dissolved oxygen because the water movements cause more oxygen to be produced...try looking at lab bench..it's like a prelab but it helps with the basic information
How can one measure dissolved oxygen levels in the human body?
A good way to measure dissolved oxygen levels in the human body would be to use a pulse oximeter. It is a little device that you can put on a finger or toe to get the measurement.
Which region would you expect to find the largest amounts of dissolved oxygen in the ocean water?
In polar oceans because the solubility of oxygen increases with decreasing temperature
How do the organs in the circulatory and respiratory systems of a fish work together to perform a job?
Through their gills, fish take in oxygen that is dissolved in water. This oxygen is then carried by blood cells to the other cells in the fish's body.Oxygen is dissolved in water. The fish needs to get this oxygen into it's bloodstream.This occurs passively by diffusion across the gills. At the gills only a thin membrane separates the blood from the water. Oxygen moves from the water across the membrane into the bloodstream.The greater the concentration difference between the water and blood, the faster the rate of transfer. By pumping blood across the gills (circulatory system), the blood exposed is consistently oxygen depleted, and thus concentration difference remains high and oxygen transfer rate is maximised.If blood wasn't flowing the blood at gills would become oxygenated and then mass transfer would stop. Another way of looking at it is that oxygen would start diffusing out of blood as fast as oxygen diffuses in to blood.Basically, circulatory system keeps 'fresh' blood at gills so it can keep absorbing oxygen.
What would happen to the amount of dissolved oxygen in the river if the river is polluted?
the amount of dissolved oxygen would decrease.
Where would you find a whale shark?
in warm tropical waters
Where would you expect to find the largest amounts of dissolved oxygen in the ocean water?
Oxygen best dissolves at surfaces. So generally, you would find the largest amount of dissolved water at the surface, which is in contact with the air. As for a region, I would assume a region that has a lot of photosynthetic organisms and not a lot of oxygen consumers. Another factor that should be kept in mind, is that the lower the concentration of solutes (i.e.. salt) in the water, the more oxygen can be dissolved. For example, at 10 degrees Celsius, up to 8.02mL of oxygen can be present per liter of freshwater, but only 6.75mL of oxygen is dissolved per liter of saltwater. ______________ In polar regions. In polar regions
Which would increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in a pond?
air
How long can tropical fish go without having oxygen before they die...?
Water has oxygen dissolved in it. It gets this oxygen from plants, agitation, air stones, air to surface transfer, etc.. Fish require oxygen to live. If there was actually no oxygen in the water, the fish would suffocate in minutes. Otherwise it would depend on the amount of water, the number of fish, and many other factors.
Would you expect a fast moving mountain stream or the Mississippi River to have more dissolved oxygen?
I personally would expect the mountain stream to have more dissolved oxygen, because I know that oxygen dissolves better in cold water.
What happens when fertilizer gets into pond?
It would decrease the dissolved oxygen because it would stop the plants from making oxygen.
Where in the world are tropical oceans?
TROPICALWATERS The most tropical waters would have to be in the Kenya, and in the Bahamas. In tropical waters theres tropical liles, fish,red tropical lilly's, and unique fish.In my opinion I would say that I think tropical waters are cool. My dad went under the Bahamas and saw lots of cool and unique things. by, coachy khan
Why does a river with rapids contain more dissolved oxygen?
The more water moves the more it has a big surface of contact with the air with is rich in oxygen and therefore oxygenates the water. Also the movement makes that the deeper waters have a chance to get to the surface, exposing to the air part of water that would not be exposed otherwise.
How would frigid Antarctic waters affect the ice fish's need for oxygen?
Antarctic waters are higher in oxygen content than are other oceans. This means that oxygen is more freely available to these animals in the Southern Ocean.
Can you mix oxygen with water to make acid?
No. You would just get water with some dissolved oxygen in it. This dissolved oxygen is essential for most aquatic life. Acids are a variety of substances that will increase the concentration of hydrogen ions when added to water.
Which one of the following regions would you expect to find the largest amounts of dissolved oxygen in the ocean water?
In the polar regions, there is more dissolved oxygen in the ocean water. The cold water is able to hold more dissolved gases than warm water.
