What would happen if oxygen were not available?

If oxygen were not available, most multicellular organisms, including humans, would not be able to survive as oxygen is essential for cellular respiration, the process by which cells produce energy. Anaerobic organisms, which do not require oxygen, would likely thrive in this environment. The Earth's atmosphere and ecosystem would significantly change, leading to the extinction of many species.


What happens when there is no oxygen available for respiration?

When there is no oxygen available for respiration, cells are unable to undergo aerobic respiration, which is the most efficient way to produce energy. This can lead to a switch to anaerobic respiration, which produces energy less efficiently and can result in the accumulation of lactic acid in mammals. Continued lack of oxygen can ultimately lead to cell death.


How much oxygen is available 5.5 kilometers above sea level?

From sea level to an altitude of 300 meters there is enough oxygen. After 300 meters of altitude, there is enough oxygen. 4500 meters to 4800 meters of altitude and low atmospheric pressure due to lack of oxygen to human breath.


What is oxygen depletion?

Oxygen depletion refers to a situation where there is a significant decrease in the amount of oxygen available in a given environment. This can lead to oxygen levels dropping below what is needed for normal functioning of living organisms, potentially causing harm or death.


Why low oxygen on high mountains?

At high altitudes, the air pressure decreases, leading to lower oxygen levels because there are fewer oxygen molecules in the air. This makes it more challenging for individuals to breathe and adapt to the limited oxygen available in high mountain environments.

Oxygen to Hydrilla plant is available through water, however, it needs O2 for respiration which is radially available as a byproduct of photosynthesis


Define the term 'available oxygen' as the term is applied to natural sources of fresh water?

"It means the concentration of dissolved oxygen available for fish and other aquatic life. When you discharge untreated sewage into a waterway, the bacteria that break it down use up oxygen and there is less available for other aquatic life. Water at the bottom of deep lakes and deep in the ocean is also low in available oxygen. The two sources of oxygen are contact with the atmosphere at the surface, so atmospheric oxygen dissolves in the surface water, and green algae near the surface."
