DISSOLVED OXYGEN BY WINKLER TITRATION 1. Background Knowledge of the dissolved oxygen (O2) concentration in seawater is often necessary in environmental and marine science. It may be used by physical oceanographers to study water masses in the ocean. It provides the marine biologist with a means of measuring primary production - particularly in laboratory cultures. For the marine chemist‚ it provides a measure of the redox potential of the water column. The concentration of dissolved oxygen can be readily

photosynthesis‚ plants absorb carbon dioxide gas from the air‚ with energy from the sun‚ water from the soil and chlorophyll to make carbohydrates for food.

blood circulates around the body‚ collects oxygen‚ delivers the oxygen to the organs that require it and releases carbon dioxide. oxygen and carbon dioxide enter and exit the body in opposite directions across a respiratory surface area that supplies enough oxygen to allow the process to occur efficiently. The process begins when gases from the atmosphere‚ including oxygen‚ enter the body through either the nasal cavity‚ or the oral cavity. Afterwards‚ the oxygen enters the pharynx‚ a path that connects

torr‚ studies have proof that cellular oxygen uptake stay permanently autonomous of oxygen tension. When the carbon-hydrogen bonds of glucose are broken‚ electron are transferred to oxygen. The transfer of electrons during chemical reactions releases energy stored in organic molecules. This released energy is ultimately used to synthesize ATP. The medical examiner concluded that each of the victims had died of hypoxia. At this point‚ the dispersion of oxygen to the mitochondria start to restraint

work properly. Overview The gas exchange system is the process in which oxygen enters the cells of many living animals. Some factors that affect how efficient a gas exchange system is are things such as the distance that the molecules have to go before the oxygen enters the cells of the animal. The gas exchange system has to be moist in order for the process of diffusion to take place. When an animal needs to replenish oxygen it has to absorb it across tiny cell membranes deep in their gas

Effect of Industrial Expansion on the ecosysytem. Pollutants given off by various industries and factories are often considered to be one of the prime factors contributing to air‚ water and soil pollution. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)‚ it has been estimated that industrial pollution is responsible for almost 50 percent of the pollution present in the United States. There are various wide-ranging effects‚ as well as serious consequences‚ of industrial pollution on the ecological

What is collagen? Collagen is a simple protein made up of amino-acids. Amino acids are built from carbon‚ oxygen and hydrogen. In fact collagen makes up approximately 30% of the protein within the body. As a structure Collagen is intensely strong and is a vital protein that is found all over the body: In tendons and ligaments. It plays an important role in the protection function of the skin in that it helps limit the absorption and spreading of pathogenic substances‚ environmental toxins‚ micro

temperature have on the oxygen production of enzymes in an animal’s liver? A temperature which is too high would be able to produce little to no oxygen because of the extreme temperature. Just like a temperature too high‚ a temperature which is too low would also produce little to no oxygen for the same reason. Animals that have livers are considered warm-blooded‚ with very warm temperatures; therefore it would make sense for a warm temperature to produce the most oxygen; but one that is not too

D1 – Analyse how two body systems interrelate to perform named functions The circulatory system and the respiratory system work closely together to ensure that organ tissues and systems receive enough oxygen. Oxygen is required for cellular functions such as cell respiration. This is so the body’s organs and cells can work at fully; it is done by releasing chemical energy with in stored foods. The air breathed in and held in the lungs is transferred to the blood. The blood is circulated by

Experiment 1 Cyanobacteria Oxygen Production Through Photosynthesis Date Performed: September 2‚ 2014 I. Introduction a. Background Cyanobacteria or blue green algae are renowned for their tolerability and susceptibility even in wide range of environmental conditions‚ a characteristic of many primitive organisms. CNB are believed to be the agents of autotrophic origin of life thus they probably represent the survivors of the earliest photosynthetic plants‚ along with photosynthetic and chemosynthetic
