What else can I help you with?
Why a person cannot remain in a glass container for a long period of time?
Short answer: Glass is usually air-tight, so you can't breathe. Long answer: The human body needs a more or less constant percentage of oxygen in the air so that the lungs can distribute enough through the body. Inside of a sealed container, a living human is using up the oxygen they already have, but no more is being created or allowed through, so the oxygen percentage goes down. Once it hits a certain point, the body can no longer get what it needs from the air and the person will die of asphyxiation.
Why do yeast cells need less mitochondria in a no oxygen environment?
Because this is America.
What is the percentage of oxygen at the top of a mountain?
At the top of Mount Everest, the percentage of oxygen in the air is the same as that at sea level (about 21% oxygen). However, atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases, and the atmospheric pressure at the summit of Everest is 33% that of sea level.Therefore, there is 66% less oxygen than there is at sea level.
What would happen if the was gone?
Iron is a major component of red blood cells. The oxygen you breathe bonds to the iron in your red blood cells. If you had no iron in your body you would likely die.
How does air pressure affect the breathing of people living in the mountins?
Because there is less air at higher altitude, there is less oxygen available. A person unaccustomed to the deficiency would eventually feel lightheaded from lack of oxygen, and have trouble breathing as their lungs tried to fill up more than they could.
Why would a sleeping person breathe less than when awake?
During sleep, the body's metabolic rate decreases, leading to reduced oxygen consumption and therefore slower breathing. Additionally, during non-REM sleep, the breathing control centers in the brainstem adjust the breathing rate to match the body's lower oxygen needs.
Can you digest while asleep?
Yes, of course you do, the body continues to function while you sleep. You digest food while asleep but because you are at rest you burn less calories(energy) Also sleeping on a full stomach gives some people indigestion. And of course eating a lot also can make you feel sleepy!
Why does less oxygen reach the muscle in hot conditions?
Oxygen is less soluble in water at higher temperatures. While the primary transport mechanism for oxygen in the blood is hemoglobin and not water, it is still true that the oxygen has to pass from the hemoglobin into the various fluids of the body in order to be accessible to the cells for metabolism.
When you fall asleep is it your eyes your mind or your body that falls asleep?
The mind is what falls asleep. It cuts down on its processes, essentially sending the body into hibernation mode. The amount of adrenaline in the body decreases and somatotrophon, which helps to heal damaged tissues, increases. While people sleep, the body is still working to store memories and such. People still breathe and their hearts pump, proving it's not the body (or eyes) that "sleep." Sleeping just allows the body to become more efficient, because it has less stimuli distracting it, and the brain is free to command healing and other metabolic functions while one is unconscious.
When does blood have less oxygen in it?
Blood has less oxygen in it when it travels through the body's tissues and organs, giving up oxygen to cells for energy production. This deoxygenated blood then returns to the lungs, where it picks up more oxygen to be transported to the rest of the body.
What are blood that has less or no oxygen?
Blood that has less oxygen is referred to as deoxygenated blood, while blood that has no oxygen is known as venous blood. Deoxygenated blood is typically found in veins returning to the heart, while venous blood is present in the lungs where oxygen is exchanged.
What disease causes less oxygen to be taken into the body from the air?
emphysema
Which diseases causes less oxygen to be taken into the body from the air?
emphysema
Why is acclimatization necessary while traveling to high altitude?
Each erythrocyt (a blood molecule) is able to carry one molecule of oxygen. In the city your body produces as many erythrocyts as necessary to bring enough oxygen to your cells. At a high altitude, there's less oxygen in the air and to compensate that, the body needs more erythrocyts. The more erythrocytes you have, the higher is the probability that one will fetch a molecule of oxygen while passing the lungs.
What element is less dense selenium or oxygen?
Oxygen is less dense than selenium. Oxygen has a density of about 1.43 grams per cubic centimeter, while selenium has a density of about 4.81 grams per cubic centimeter.
What is oxy dept and give a sporting situation where it occurs?
oxygen dept is when you owe the body oxygen. a great example is the 100m race because sprinters hold their breaths to create less lactic acid in their body in other words so it doesn't hurt their muscles when they run and that means that you owe the body oxygen because you did not inhale while running. hope that helped :)
Where does blood go bright colors?
When it is rich with oxygen. It will become dark colour when it contain less oxygen (after the oxygen used by the body tissues )
