Oxygen saturation

Different types of solutes do have an effect on the rate of osmosis in potatoes. For each of the following solutes used: salt, sugar, baking soda, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and tap water with no solute, the percent change of mass at the end were different. The solute with the highest percent change in mass was salt, followed by baking soda and sugar. This is due to the difference in the amount of solute in the solution and potato strip. The initial hypothesis was incorrect as the potato strip in…

This influences fish kill rate because higher oxygen levels in the water means more fish can coexist in the same location. a sudden decrease in oxygen levels and the fish will begin to die off because of lack of oxygen. Two sources influencing the levels of dissolved oxygen include the atmosphere and photosynthesis. The atmosphere provides oxygen for water; it dissolves slowly in the bodies of water. Photosynthesis is a important factor in the role of oxygen because plants take in carbon…

amongst infants who do not complete the full gestation period, are underweight, weighing less than 1250g and are not completely developed. ROP seems to be CO-related with low gestation age, low birth weight, and prolonged exposure to supplemental oxygen in incubators herein we explore and discuss Retinopathy of Prematurity in its entirety, its classification, its causes, and risk factors, its treatment, and prevention. Retinopathy of prematurity is a vasoproliferative eye diseases (Chen H,…

relationship between the saturation of oxygen and the partial pressure of oxygen. It directly tells us how a person own body is utilizing oxygen intake, how carbon dioxide levels are being regulated, as well as how efficient the hemoglobin in our body binds and release oxygen molecules to the appropriate tissues that require it. Normally the oxygen that our tissues need in order to function properly on a daily basis is carried by a red protein known as hemoglobin. It is able to bind to oxygen…

should be an increase in the release of oxygen by haemoglobin. The oxygen dissociation curve (ODC), which was created, using the data collected in the experiment, demonstrates that the hypothesis was accurate. In a similar experiment titled, “Continuous Determination of the Oxygen Dissociation Curve for Whole Blood”, Rossi-Dernardi et al. (1975) found that the pH of the blood used and the partial pressure of oxygen had an effect on the affinity of oxygen in haemoglobin. The shape of the ODC in…

three tested parameters were dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand and ammonia. What was found is that the results for all three tests fitted within the recommended guidelines for healthy waterways. These results re overall indicating that the river is not polluted. Introduction: This report is has been completed in order to determine if Freshwater Creeks water quality meets the current standards, is classified as polluted or is declining…

Near bottom waters would have higher TAN concentration because of decaying organic matter on the bottom. These waters would also generally tend to have lower oxygen concentrations and higher salinities. When natural upwelling events happen, these colder, high TAN and low oxygen waters would be brought up to the surface. Majority of this TAN would also be in the form of toxic unionized ammonia NH3 as pH of the water would be higher in saltwater environment. So, care…

and d) temperature stabilizer. Water is created when Hydrogen and Oxygen undergoes synthesis reaction as 2H2 + O2  2H¬2¬O. In the process, an oxygen atom is covalently bonded to the two hydrogen atoms forming a non-linear molecular shape of water. According to the Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory, the two lone pairs of oxygen exerts extra repulsion on the two hydrogen atoms that are covalently bonded to the oxygen, which creates a bent structure of 104o angle (refer to…

is the process where the exchange of oxygen (O2) from the air into the lungs and carbon dioxide (CO2) from the blood into the external environment (Silverthorn, 2013). Respiration is essential for all living organisms to survive. Breathing is part of physiological respiration and is required to sustain life. Our lungs are composed of small sacs called alveoli which facilitate the movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the tissue and blood stream. Oxygen is in larger concentrations in the…

imbalance between oxygen supply and demand as shown by shortness of breath when ambulating. These diagnoses have been resolved by the patient meeting the expected outcome within 24 hours. The patient has a respiratory rate of 20 breaths per minute and denies any shortness of breath with ambulation. The remaining diagnosis of impaired gas exchange related to ventilation perfusion imbalance as evidence by the oxygen saturation of 90% is still applicable due to the patient’s oxygen saturation not…
