What are facts about oxygen?
The amount of iron or hemoglobin in the red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body, If one is deficient in iron or hemoglobin then one does not have enough oxygen thus causing tiredness. - Animals and plants require oxygen for respiration. - Oxygen gas is colorless, odorless and tasteless. - Approximately 2/3 of the mass of the human body is oxygen. - The name of the element oxygen comes from the greek words that means 'acid former'. - Air is about 21% oxygen. - 9/10's of the mass of the water is oxygen. - Oxygen's atomic weight is 15.9994 - It was discovered by Jospeh Priestly and Carl Wilhelm Scheele. Oxygen comes from trees -Two mature trees provide enough oxygen for a family of four.Please see Related Link on the left.nothing other than it keeps us alive :)Oxygen is useful to the human because if we did not have Oxygen, the average human cannot surive!
Why the body needs oxygen?
The body needs oxygen for the process of cellular respiration, where it is used to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Oxygen is essential for the efficient functioning of cells, tissues, and organs in the human body, supporting metabolic processes and sustaining life.
Which term describes the loss of consciousness that occurs when the body cannot get the oxygen it needs?
The term that describes the loss of consciousness due to lack of oxygen is "hypoxia." This condition happens when there is inadequate oxygen in the body to sustain normal bodily functions. Symptoms can range from lightheadedness and confusion to loss of consciousness and potential long-term brain damage.
What protein carries oxygen to muscles?
The protein that carries oxygen to muscles is called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is found in red blood cells and binds to oxygen in the lungs, then transports it to tissues and muscles throughout the body.
Why do human need oxygen to survive?
Oxygen is required for cellular respiration, the production of ATP. Oxygen is an electron receptor in the Krebs cycle with reaction that transforms O2 to C02 fueling every chemical reaction (albeit indirectly) in the body.
Do skeletal muscle produce lactic acid when the body cannot supply enough oxygen?
yes
Skeletal muscle produces lactic acid when the body cannot supply enough oxygen?
Yes
Why you cannot live in another planet?
We cannot live in other planets because there are no enough oxygen there . Also the temperature there is not accepted by our body
Why do people feel tired of they dont have enough oxygen?
The human metabolism runs on an oxidation process. Calories are in effect burned, to make chemically useful energy. All the chemical processes of the body are forced to slow down if there is not enough oxygen.
Does swelling in lower legs be caused by emphysema?
Probably. If you have emphysema and cannot breathe well, not enough oxygen is going through your body. Swelling of the legs could be a symptom of it not getting enough oxygen. Since the legs are extremities of the body, the body could be keeping the oxygen through different routes, closer to the core.
How come people who don't have enough iron in their diet sometime cannot carry a normal amount of oxygen in their blood?
B/c the iron in the blood is what carries the oxygen around the body. With too little iron, not enough oxygen carriers.
Why the body switches between cellular and anaerobic respiration?
The body needs oxygen for cellular respiration. When doing strenuous activity, such as lifting weights, the mitochondria cannot get enough oxygen. Without oxygen to act as an electron receptor, the body creates lactic acid to "reset" coenzymes to continue respiration.
How much percent is oxygen in the human body?
Oxygen makes up about 65% of the human body by mass.
What process of cellular respiration causes muscle soreness?
When the body produces lactic acid because it doesn't have enough oxygen this makes a muscle sore.
What molecule makes most of your body?
it is 65% oxygen
What does oxygen do in your body that makes us live?
Hehehehheheheh.....
What is the relationship between oxygen and the food in the human body?
it makes energy for the body
