the difference between the amount of oxygen needed for totally aerobic muscle activity and the amount actually used
Oxygen consumption is directly proportional to metabolic rate. As the body metabolizes nutrients to produce energy, it requires oxygen to carry out this process. Therefore, an increase in oxygen consumption indicates a higher metabolic rate, while a decrease in oxygen consumption indicates a lower metabolic rate.
Oxygen consumption can be calculated by measuring the difference in oxygen concentration between inspired and expired air using a respirometer or metabolic cart. The rate of oxygen consumption is typically expressed in volume of oxygen consumed per unit time (e.g. mL/min).
Excess oxygen is used in the contact process to ensure that all the sulfur dioxide (SO2) is converted to sulfur trioxide (SO3). This reaction is essential for the production of sulfuric acid and having excess oxygen helps maximize the conversion efficiency.
As temperature increases, so does the rate of oxygen consumption in organisms, including humans. This is because higher temperatures lead to higher metabolic rates due to increased enzyme activity. Conversely, lower temperatures decrease oxygen consumption due to reduced metabolic activity.
The average adult oxygen consumption is around 250 ml of oxygen per minute at rest. This value can vary based on factors such as age, weight, physical activity level, and overall health status.
yes
oxygen consumption increases
Oxygen consumption is directly proportional to metabolic rate. As the body metabolizes nutrients to produce energy, it requires oxygen to carry out this process. Therefore, an increase in oxygen consumption indicates a higher metabolic rate, while a decrease in oxygen consumption indicates a lower metabolic rate.
Oxygen in excess: carbon dioxide is obtained.Not sufficient oxygen: carbon monoxide is obtained.
oxygen consumption is nearly linear with power output or running velocity
No - we exhale to remove air that has a high content of carbon dioxide. Excess oxygen is not a problem when breathing - oxygen deficiency IS a problem.
Oxygen consumption in a biological system can be calculated by measuring the amount of oxygen consumed by the system over a specific period of time. This can be done using techniques such as respirometry, where the decrease in oxygen concentration in a closed system is monitored. The rate of oxygen consumption is then calculated based on the change in oxygen concentration and the volume of the system.

maximal oxygen consumption
Oxygen consumption can be calculated by measuring the difference in oxygen concentration between inspired and expired air using a respirometer or metabolic cart. The rate of oxygen consumption is typically expressed in volume of oxygen consumed per unit time (e.g. mL/min).
Oxygen consumption decreases while glucose consumption increases
