is to move fresh air into and get waste gases out of the body. Lungs are very important because Oxygen‚ a basic gas‚ is needed by every cell in your body in order to live. The air that comes into the body through the lungs contains oxygen and other gases. In the lungs‚ the oxygen is moved into the bloodstream and carried through the body. At each cell in the body‚ the oxygen cells are exchanged for waste gas called carbon dioxide. The bloodstream then carries this waste gas back to the

Abstract The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in a whole and diced wedges by with The enzyme catalase was observed. The catalase was able to break down the hydrogen peroxide In the diced banana wedge better than the whole banana because after the banana was diced that Increases the surface area allowing the breakdown to flow. The effects of temperature on enzyme In a liver sample were observed under iced‚ boiling‚ 37 degrees‚ and room temperature Conditions. The enzymes became completely

planet. Most of our atmosphere is located close to the earth’s surface where it is most dense. The air of our planet is 78% nitrogen and just under 21% oxygen; the small amount remaining is composed of carbon dioxide and other gasses.It is a mixture of gases encircling the Earth and held by the Earth’s gravity. This invisible mixture of nitrogen‚ oxygen‚ argon‚ carbon dioxide‚ and water vapor protects the planet from harmful radiation and makes life on it. (Atienza et al.‚ 2012) Atmosphere and Ecology

The decrease in mass brought about by heating represents the amount of oxygen originally present in the sample. From the experiment we obtain the following

note the volume of oxygen in the measuring cylinder in a suitable table of results. * Empty and rinse the conical flask and measure another 20 cm3 pureed potato into it. Reassemble the apparatus‚ refill the measuring cylinder‚ and repeat from d to g with another concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Use a 100 cm3 measuring cylinder for concentrations of hydrogen peroxide over 20 vol. * Calculate the rate of oxygen production in cm3/ s. * Plot a graph of rate of oxygen production against

A lack of dissolved oxygen in the river would result in scores of fish‚ plants and other life forms to perish. An increase in dissolved oxygen downstream is surprising as downstream of the treatment plant‚ temperatures are much hotter‚ an averaged increase of about 10 degrees. Although‚ this could be due to the tests at the second site being conducted later in the day whereas the tests at test site 1 were done before midday. The increase in the levels of dissolved oxygen are due to a process called

natural gases‚ gunpowder and trinitrotoluene (TNT). Although for the combustion reaction to take place there has to be an oxidiser‚ this usually is Oxygen (O2). An oxidiser is a chemical substance that adds Oxygen to complete a reaction (Daily‚ 2015). The oxidiser is usually found in the surrounding air‚ this also concludes to the fact that if you add Oxygen by fanning a flame it will become brighter. Overall meaning that since both explosions and coloured flames undergo a combustion reaction both must

water becomes oxygen depleted. There are natural cycles of eutrophication in the spring and fall‚ but the body of water can deal with those amounts. When excess waste is added to the water the body of water can no longer control the growth of the algae and the water soon becomes algae ridden and oxygen depleted. The water becomes oxygen depleted because the dead algae goes to the bottom and uses the oxygen in the deeper water to decompose‚ but if there is too much dead algae all the oxygen is depleted
