It may be possible for humans to live longer and need less oxygen at some time in the future, but it is not possible at this time. A human requires a certain amount of oxygen to maintain cellular function and although lifespan varies, most humans (even those who are long-lived) do not live past the age of about 90.

Which would evolve faster humans or bacteria?

Bacteria would evolve faster than humans due to their shorter generation times and larger population sizes, allowing for quicker adaptation to environmental changes and mutations to occur. Humans have longer generation times and smaller population sizes, slowing down the rate of evolution.


What are blood that has less or no oxygen?

Blood that has less oxygen is referred to as deoxygenated blood, while blood that has no oxygen is known as venous blood. Deoxygenated blood is typically found in veins returning to the heart, while venous blood is present in the lungs where oxygen is exchanged.


What was the original purpose of ear muscles in humans and how have they evolved over time?

The original purpose of ear muscles in humans was to help us move our ears to better detect sounds and communicate non-verbally. Over time, as humans evolved and no longer needed to move their ears for survival, these muscles have become less developed and are now mostly non-functional in most people.


What percentage of mammals on Earth are humans?

Humans make up less than 1 of all mammal species on Earth.


Why are auricular muscles considered vestigial in humans?

Auricular muscles, which control the movement of the ears, are considered vestigial in humans because they no longer serve a significant function in our species. These muscles were more developed in our ancestors and were used to move the ears to better detect sounds or express emotions. However, over time, humans have evolved to rely more on other senses like sight and hearing, making the auricular muscles less important for survival.

How cutting tree affect the rate of pollution in such ecosystem?

Trees produce oxygen. If the tree is cut down, it will no longer produce the oxygen that the ecosystem needs. So when we cut down trees, less oxygen is being produced, and the less oxygen produced, the more uneven the balance of pollution and oxygen.


Can you hold your breath for a longer or shorter time after exercising?

Shorter because you have less oxygen circulating your body


How does the oxygen content of the ocean compare to the air that humans breathe?

The oxygen content in the ocean is lower than the air humans breathe. The ocean contains less oxygen because it is not constantly replenished like the air on land, which is continuously refreshed by plants through photosynthesis.


How is there less oxygen in higher altitude?

At higher altitudes, there is less oxygen in the air because the air pressure decreases with elevation. This results in fewer oxygen molecules per unit volume of air. As a result, it becomes harder for humans to breathe in enough oxygen to meet their body's needs at higher altitudes.


Do trees help the earth?

Why are slow breaths are more effective then short quick breaths?

Your body only uses 1/4 of oxygen inhaled. Longer in your lungs means more oxygen used, less energy consumed.

Why would a candle burn longer in the open other than in a glass jar?

If the glass jar is sealed, there is a limited amount of oxygen within it. Fire uses oxygen to stay alive. Once it uses up the limited amount of oxygen in the glass jar, it can no longer sustain flame. However, in the open, there is a theoretically unlimited amount of oxygen.
