We carry oxygen cylinders while climbing a mountain to supplement the decreasing levels of oxygen at higher altitudes. This helps prevent altitude sickness and ensure that the body receives enough oxygen to function properly.
Mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders at high altitudes where the air is thin and oxygen levels are low to prevent altitude sickness and hypoxia. Spacemen carry oxygen cylinders in space where there is no breathable air available, ensuring they have a supply of oxygen to breathe in their spacecraft or during spacewalks.
Sickle cell hemoglobin can carry one oxygen molecule.
Arteries carry blood high in oxygen away from the heart to the rest of the body. The blood in arteries is oxygenated, while veins carry blood low in oxygen back to the heart.
Oxygen is quite important for the continued functioning of the human body.Normally, we get it from the air that's always around us. In just the past 50years or so, it became possible for humans to travel to places above the Earth'ssurface where there's no air. Since we are so intelligent, clever, quick, andsmart, we immediately made the connection with places we've already beenwhere there's no air, like under the surface in swimming pools, bathtubs, andoceans, and realized that when we go to the new places, we need to take airwith us. That's the main reason for the cylinders, masks, helmets, and most ofthe other equipment you see in the vicinity of astronauts' noses.
The protein in blood that helps carry oxygen is called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is located within red blood cells and binds to oxygen in the lungs, transporting it to tissues throughout the body.
A climber carries an oxygen cylinder on their back because it helps him/her to breathe easier. On high altitude mountains like Mount Everest the air is so thin it makes it very hard for anyone to breathe without extra oxygen from a cylinder.
The higher you go up away from the Earth's surface, the less oxygen can be found in the air and more of gases we don't need to breathe in. So, as the mountaineer goes higher up, breathing becomes harder and your body works slowly, reducing reaction times. By carrying an oxygen tank, the mountaineer can always be breathing the perfect concentration of oxygen they need at all times.

Spacemen carry oxygen cylinders in space where there is no breathable air available, ensuring they have a supply of oxygen to breathe in their spacecraft or during spacewalks.
Because at great heights ie up mountains the air becomes 'thinner' this means there is less oxygen and so it is harder to breathe. So they carry the oxygen so that they can continue up the mountain otherwise they will be unable to coninue because it is dangerous.
So that they may breath underwater.
Ambulances carry oxygen cylinders because it is often used to revive people, e.g. For people rescued from drowning or people rescued from smoke filled rooms.Hospitals also use it for patients with breathing difficulties e.g. asthma.
If you mean 'Why do climbers carry oxygen cylinders on mountains' then that is to survive. On high mountains like Mount Everest the air (oxygen) is so thin you need help to breathe, so they use oxygen from a cylinder.
At extreme altitudes, the air becomes rarefied and has a very low oxygen concentration. This can lead to a condition known as hypoxia, which is deprivation of oxygen to the brain, which can cause loss of consciousness, paralysis, and death.
the oxygen on a mountain is thinner than on the ground.
Mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders at high altitudes to supplement the reduced oxygen levels in the air. This helps prevent altitude sickness, improves physical performance, and reduces the risk of life-threatening conditions such as hypoxia and cerebral edema.
first of all you'll need to carry 50-90 lbs for 2-6 hours a day going uphill
some carry and some may not carry
