Why must coal be heated in the absence of air to change into coke?
Because the oxygen in the air would cause it to combust rather than turn into coke (+coal gas).
What do humans make when oxygen is unavailable?
When humans do not have the oxygen necessary to undergo cellular respiration, lactic acid is produced to create energy. This is the cause of the burning sensation in your legs when you run. If there is a lack of sufficient oxygen for an extended period of time, your body would not be able to function properly, causing most of your systems to shut down, killing you.
Would oxygen production increase or decrease in a deforested area?
Oxygen production would decrease in a deforested area. Less trees = less oxygen being produced.
Compounds composing of metal and oxygen?
A compound containing a metal plus oxygen would be a metal oxide. For example: Sodium plus oxygen would produce Sodium oxide, Bismuth and Oxygen would produce Bismuth oxide, Zinc plus Oxyen would produce Zinc oxide and so on.
What would our body do without oxygen?
we would die
Fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen so what is it termed?
Any respiratory reaction that takes place in the absence of oxygen is considered an anaerobic respiratory reaction. I would have to guess that that is the answer you are looking for.
Does oxygen continue to be released if carbon dioxide is not available?
It depends on what you mean by "Continue to be released" Photosynthesis cannot function withot carbon dioxide, so in its absence all plant life would die. However, the earth would receive very smal, amounts of oxygen from meteortes, etc.
Why does your body need oxygen to function?
we need oxygen to function because without oxygen we would suffocate to death. without oxygen we wouldn't exist right now.
What will happen in the absence of plants?
Everything that is a heterotroph would die because of no oxygen, including us.
What do you mean by arobic activity?
Aerobic activity refers to any activity that involves the use of oxygen. The absence of oxygen would be referred to as anaerobic activity.
What is the function of blood in circulatory?
The function of blood in circulatory is to bring oxygen to the cells around the body. Without blood cells would not be able to get oxygen.
Which would likely live in a bog sewage treatment plant or a cows intestine?

Which would likely live in a big a sewage treatment plant or a cows intestine?
Methanogens
What is the importance of oxygen to your body?
your body needs oxygen to produce ATP (energy) and without your cells cannot function and then you would die
What is the importance of hemoglobin for erythrocyte function?
The importance of hemoglobin for erythrocyte function is that it gives them oxygen carrying abilities. Without hemoglobin, the erythrocyte would be unable to carry and transport oxygen where it needs to go.
If you could cover the entire planet with iron filings what would happen to them?
Oxidation would eventually dissolve them due to combination of oxygen with the Ferrous metal. This would happen more rapidly in the salt laden seas and ocean unless an absence of oxygen is present.
