Some examples of oxygen demanding waste include sewage, organic matter from agricultural runoff, and paper or pulp mill waste. These substances consume oxygen in water bodies as they decompose, leading to decreased oxygen levels that can harm aquatic life.

Name some substances carried by the blood?

Oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients (such as glucose and amino acids), hormones, waste products, and antibodies are some of the substances carried by the blood.


What happens to the oxygen when you exhale?

When you inhale normal air, the air that you breathe in is about 70% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, and 1% "other" gasses. Your lungs exchange some of the oxygen in the air for carbon dioxide and water vapor, but your exhaled breath generally still contains about 16% oxygen. THat's why "mouth to mouth" CPR and artificial respiration works.


Name three 3 substance found in perspiration?

Water, salts (like sodium and potassium), and waste products (such as urea and ammonia) are substances commonly found in perspiration.


Name the organisms that absorb oxygen by diffusion?

Small aquatic organisms like single-celled bacteria, protozoa, and some aquatic invertebrates absorb oxygen by diffusion through their body surface, since they have a high surface area to volume ratio which allows for efficient exchange of gases.


What waste product is produced by a hydrogen fuel cell?

Water, when pure hydrogen is used. If the likes of longer chain alkanes are used, (which they can be in some), CO2 is generated, however, they are still more efficient than standard cars. During generation of H2, the waste associated would be (at a guess) Oxygen which is not considered waste really, the poisoned catalyst (after time) be it a molecular catalyst or metal electrode surface, and I think the electrolytes after some time become problematic. In a molecular catalytic hydrogen generative system, you need a sacrificial donor molecule, such as triethylamine or triethanolamine.

Does a sunflower provide oxygen?

No. Oxygen is a waste gas produced by plants. They "inhale" carbon dioxide and "exhale" oxygen.


Name some waste products produced in plants?

Plants need Water (H2O) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) to produce glucose - which is used as food. The hydrogen (H2) part of the water is used with the carbon dioxide to produce glucose, the food. The remaining oxygen (from the water) is waste.


What elements are in waste water?

Hydrogen, Oxygen, Potassium, some others

What is oxygen sag?

Oxygen sag is a dip in the amount of dissolved oxygen in a body of water. This can be caused by several things, ranging from a drop in water flow to an increase in waste in the water. Occasionally when waste is introduced into a body of water, bacteria will begin to consume the waste. As they consume the waste, the bacteria use up oxygen, causing the overall amount of oxygen in the water to drop. In some cases, the waste itself will consume oxygen without an bacteria. Oxygen sag can lead to massive die-offs of oxygen-breathing aquatic creatures, such as fish, crustaceans and mollusks.

How was oxygen formed?

The first oxygen on earth was produced by a blue green bacteria called cyanobacteria. They had no used for it, it was just waste in their process of making glucose as food using sunlight (the glucose was then fermented when the energy was needed). The waste oxygen poisoned many life forms. Eventually some life forms evolved that could use oxygen and also protected themselves from its poisonous character.


What are some things that are produced at the end of photosynthesis?

Glucose (sugar) is made for energy and oxygen is produced, but thrown away as a waste product.


What type of organism that could use waste products in photosynthesis?

Respiring organisms, these can be from humans such as ourselves to micro-organisms, such as bacteria. There is one 'waste' product of photosynthesis - oxygen, glucose is all used or stored by the plant. Oxygen is not a complete waste, as it is used in plant respiration, however, the oxygen released from the plant can be used in respiration in other organisms.


Does a plants waste products pass into the ground to its' roots?

Yes, plants release waste products such as oxygen and organic compounds through processes like photosynthesis and respiration. These waste products can be released into the air or soil surrounding the plant. In some cases, these waste products can be broken down by microorganisms in the soil and the resulting nutrients can be taken up by the plant's roots.


Oxygen is a waste product of living things that do photosynthesis and a resource for living things that do?

Oxygen is one of the products that is produced by plants during photosynthesis. It is not a waste product. During aerobic cellular respiration, both plant and animals, and other types of organisms, consume oxygen and glucose, and produce carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis is responsible for 98% of the oxygen in the earth's atmosphere.


Which body part transport oxygen removes waste materials and carries nutrients to the body as part of the circulatory system?

The circulatory system does all this but the blood and plasma are the "part" that you are talking about. The hemoglobin carries the oxygen and some of the waste gas called carbon dioxide but the plasma carries the rest. The plasma is the liquid part of the blood.
