What else can I help you with?
Is oxygen a molecule or compound?
Oxygen is a molecule.
What is the atomicity of oxygen in oxygen molecule?
The atomicity of oxygen in an oxygen molecule is 2. This means that each oxygen atom in an oxygen molecule is bonded to another oxygen atom, resulting in a diatomic molecule with the formula O2.
Why alveolar oxygen tension is more than arterial oxygen tension?
The alveoli are the site of gas exchange in the lungs, where oxygen is taken up by the blood. The alveolar oxygen tension is higher than arterial oxygen tension because there is a gradient that drives oxygen diffusion from the alveoli into the blood. This difference is necessary to ensure efficient oxygen uptake by the blood in the lungs.
How many hydrogen atoms in an oxygen molecule?
None. An oxygen molecule contains two oxygen atoms and nothing else.
How many atoms are there in an oxygen molecule O(2)?
ONE oxygen molecule (O2) contains two atoms of oxygen (O).
Trace a molecule of oxygen from the air until it reaches the blood?
External Nares (Nostrils) --> Nasal Cavity --> Inferior, Superior, & Middle Nasal Conchae --> Pharynx --> Larynx --> Trachea --> Primary Bronchi (Left & Right) --> Hilus --> Bronchioles --> Respiratory Bronchioles --> Alveolar Ducts --> Alveoli (the grape-like sacs) --> the the "spider web" of Pulmonary Capillaries.
What is A-a DO2?
Alveolar-arterial oxygen difference (A-a)DO2
Site of alveolar-capillary oxygen exchange?
Within the lungs.
Explain how changes in the alveolar structure cause a decrease in the blood oxygen levels in emphysema?
Decrease in alveolar surface area results in less boundary across which oxygen can be absorbed into the blood.
What molecule is the source of oxygen?
oxygen is a molecule
Is oxygen a molecule or compound?
Oxygen is a molecule.
What is the atomicity of oxygen in oxygen molecule?
The atomicity of oxygen in an oxygen molecule is 2. This means that each oxygen atom in an oxygen molecule is bonded to another oxygen atom, resulting in a diatomic molecule with the formula O2.
Where do blood cells pick up oxygen?
In the lungs, in the alveolar capillaries
Where is oxygen transferred to?
Oxygen is transferred to hemoglobin at the alveolar/capillary function. This transfer occurs through diffusion.
Do the alveolar ducts absorb carbon dioxide?
No, alveolar ducts do not absorb carbon dioxide. Instead, the main function of alveolar ducts is to deliver oxygen from the air sacs to the bloodstream and remove carbon dioxide from the bloodstream into the air sacs for exhalation.
How do you describe carbon dioxide gas?
In CO2 molecule, one molecule of carbon is bonded to two oxygen by two double bonds,which is as follows O=C=O
How many protons are in an oxygen molecule?
There are 8 protons in an oxygen atom. There are two oxygen atoms in an oxygen molecule. Therefore, there are 16 protons in an oxygen molecule
