How does smoking reduce oxygen carried in red blood cells?
Smoking introduces carbon monoxide into the bloodstream, which binds more strongly to hemoglobin than oxygen does. This reduces the amount of oxygen that can be carried in red blood cells, leading to decreased oxygen delivery to tissues and organs in the body.
How can you reduce dissolved oxygen?
you can reduce it by stuff
Explain why an increase in the amount of organic matter in a aquatic ecosystem will reduce oxygen levels?
An increase in organic matter in an aquatic ecosystem leads to increased decomposition by bacteria. As bacteria break down the organic matter, they consume oxygen from the water, reducing oxygen levels available for other organisms and potentially causing oxygen depletion and harm to the ecosystem.
Why do Emperor Penguins' heart rates slow during deep water dives?
Emperor penguins' heart rates slow during deep water dives to conserve oxygen. By slowing their heart rate, they reduce the amount of oxygen their body needs, allowing them to stay underwater for longer periods of time while hunting for food. This adaptation helps them survive in their cold and harsh Antarctic environment.
Why is the process of photosynthesis called an air purifying process?
Photosynthesis is called an air purifying process because plants take in carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis and release oxygen as a byproduct. This helps to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and increase the level of oxygen, which benefits both plants and animals by improving air quality.
