Why do you need oxygen and hydrogen in your body?
Carbon and oxygen atoms are plentiful. However, because such a huge percentage of your body is water and because carbon atoms are always associated with hydrogen atoms in living species, by a long way, HYDROGEN atoms are the most plentiful in a living body.
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.
What is the vertical movement of the surface of a body of water called?

An underground body of water is called?
ground water
What is the vertical movement of surface of a body of water called?
a water fall
Is fermentation a process that releases energy without using oxygen?
Yes, Fermentation is a process used when your body is lacking oxygen, like when you have been running for awhile and you are tired and breathing heavly, Fermentation is releasing energy into your body without taking that small amount of oxygen.

Does water provide a person with more oxygen at high altitude?
No. The human body cannot extract the oxygen from water.
How do octopuses get there water?
An octopus take in water and removes oxygen from it. Then it sends the water out of its body through a short funnel. When it gets scared it shoots the water out in a fast jet. It is called Jet Propulsion.
What does decaying matter in water bodies cause?
Decaying matter is natural in a body of water, it is natural in any environment. However a large amount of decaying matter in a body of water could lead to a dead zone. This is because if there is a disruption in the food web of that body of water it could kill many organisms. If many animals die, the decaying takes more oxygen out of the water than can be replaced and you are left with a body of water that has no oxygen called a dead zone.
How can a body of water can be depleted of its oxygen?
Water can be depleted of it's oxygen by a number of different ways. Short of putting the water in a vacuum and "sucking" the dissolved oxygen out, oxygen-breathing organisms such as fish take oxygen from the water through respiration, for example. It is unlikely a large body of water to become completely deoxygenated due to the presence of photosynthetic aquatic organisms (plants) and the fact that oxygen is also dissolved in the water at the water's surface.
Apart from drinking how does water enter your body?
By breathing, Oxygen is part water.
Name the most-common element in your body.?
Hydrogen, then oxygen, then carbon. Your body is 70 percent water, which is two thirds hydrogen and one third oxygen.
What is the need for the nutrient by the body is second only to oxygen?
