What is the percentage of oxygen and helium in diving?
A mixture of helium and oxygen is commercially known as heliox and generally refers to a mixture of 21% O2 (the same as air) and 79% He, although other combinations are available.
Is oxygen gas also known for helium?
Oxygen is not known as helium. But a mixture of oxygen and helium is used in the oxygen cylinder for underwater diving.
What direction will oxygen diffuse?
Diffusion is when a molecules spread from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration so the oxygen will move away from the other oxygen molecules that were in a high concentration to an area with a lower concentration. An example you would relate this to would be if you were to put a drop of food coloring into a glass of water.
How does the difference in concentration on either side of the cell membrane affect the rate of oxygen?
The difference in concentration of oxygen on either side of the cell membrane creates a concentration gradient that drives the diffusion of oxygen from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. The greater the concentration gradient, the faster the rate of diffusion, as molecules naturally move to achieve equilibrium. This process is crucial for cellular respiration, as cells require a continuous supply of oxygen to generate energy. If the concentration difference is minimal, the rate of oxygen diffusion will be slower.
How would the concentration of ozone molecules change if the concentration of oxygen molecules decreased?
If the concentration of oxygen molecules decreases, the concentration of ozone molecules would also decrease since ozone is formed from oxygen molecules in the presence of ultraviolet light. With less oxygen available, there would be fewer molecules available to form ozone.
What are some of the physiological adaptation of a dolphin?
These adaptations enable a dolphin to conserve oxygen. Dolphins, like other marine mammals, have a slower heart rate while diving.
What is the percentage of oxygen and helium in diving?
A mixture of helium and oxygen is commercially known as heliox and generally refers to a mixture of 21% O2 (the same as air) and 79% He, although other combinations are available.
How do orca whales get thire oxygen?
all sea mammals including whales surface to breathe in air before diving
Does the whales have special adaptations?
Yes - whales have many adaptations. For example - the respiratory and circulatory systems of a whale are adapted so that they can deal with the pressure when whales dive. The heart slows so that less oxygen and energy are needed, and the blood is sent to the places vital for survival (such as the brain). Whales also have a much greater concentration of red blood cells than land mammals, enabling them to store oxygen for longer.
How is seal hemoglobin different to human hemoglobin?
All hemoglobin has something called the Bohr effect, which is a negative effect of binding oxygen by hemoglobin in the presence of acid. This effect is some what exaggerated in diving mammals.
Where is oxygen obtained in mammals?
All mammals obtain their oxygen from the air.
Do bats produce oxygen?
No. Bats don't produce oxygen. Bats are mammals and mammals need to oxygen to survive.
What are the differences between SNUBA and scuba diving?
With scuba diving, you are diving with an oxygen tank on your back and a regulator in your mouth. For SNUBA, there isn't an oxygen pack on your back, instead your oxygen supply is a long hose attached to a raft on the surface of the water.
What is the percent oxygen concentration if the water temperature is 10 degrees celsius and the oxygen concentration is 12 ppm?
The concentration of oxygen in water is 88,88 %.
Where do deers get their oxygen?
...From the air. They're mammals, they get their oxygen the same way as all other mammals.
What happens to the concentration of oxygen in the water when the sewage is added?
The concentration of oxygen decrease.
What happens to the concentration of oxygen in water when the sewage is added?
The concentration of oxygen decrease.
