Oxygen

Many plants, such as Spinacia oleracea (Spinach) uses a process called Photosynthesis and Respiration to produce glucose and oxygen (O2). During photosynthesis, light, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are required to begin the process. Light is absorbed by the plant’s chlorophyll, while CO2 is absorbed through the stomata and H2O is absorbed by the cells of the root hairs. The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O  C6H12O6 (Glucose). Plants are able to absorb all colors of the visible…

and cold, acidic and basic, and used liquid from a reaction. Hydrogen peroxide acts as a substrate for the enzymes. The reactants were the catalyst of different tissues and the variations of hydrogen peroxide. When combined, the product was water, oxygen, and any dead cells left in the liquid due to the reaction. In trial 1, we used liver and hydrogen peroxide. This was our control trial.…

chemical reactions such as combustion and displacement, how to write word equations about chemical reactions and the difference between exothermic reactions and endothermic reactions. To write combustion as a word equation you would write ‘___ -> Oxygen = ___ Oxide’ so if the element you were burning was Iron, the product would be Iron Oxide. In a chemical reaction, the surroundings may increase or decrease in temperature due to exothermic and endothermic reactions. An exothermic reaction is…

transport things such as nutrients and Oxygen (O) to keep our body in stable conditions. This is made possible due to the fact that blood is a liquid. Blood unlike bones has molecules that move around more freely and faster and adapt to its shape or container and can flow at whatever speed a exerting force (in this case our heart) can pump it to. These speeds of course vary depending on the amount of physical activity the human body is doing and the amount of oxygen needed for us to still be in…

do your best. In this test, the patient will seated, has a nose clip and mouthpiece in place. Firstly, the patient will instruct to exhales to residual volume (limited to 6 seconds) and then inspires the test gas mixture (10% helium, 0.3% CO, 21% oxygen, and balance nitrogen) rapidly to total lung capacity. After that the patient should try to hold the breath at total lung capacity level for a period of time approximately 10 seconds (9-11 seconds). Then the subject has to exhale quickly and…

Carbohydrates have the following basic composition. They are molecular compounds made from three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Monosaccharides are simple sugars with multiple OH groups. Based on number of carbons 3, 4, 5, 6, a monosaccharide is a triose, tetrose, pentose or hexose respectively. Disaccharides are condensation products of two monosaccharide units; examples are maltose and sucrose. A disaccharide is 2 monosaccharides covalently linked molecule. Polysaccharides are polymers…

common substance that you can find as a solid, a liquid, and a gas. Water exists in every living being, it provides a base for vital metabolic reactions to occur in. Water is used in photosynthesis by plants, which produce oxygen – this reaction is vital for the Earth as the oxygen produced in used by living being to breathe. Water is a simple inorganic compound that accounts approximately 55-60% of the body mass of…

Paintball is a game that shoots out markers or paintballs, that when they hit, the markers explode causing a paint mark on a person, a piece of cover, and trees.Paintball is also a game where many people do different types of games like capture the flag to different battle scenarios. Before paintball was a game paintballs was used to mark cattle for shipping purposes. Many people play this game with pump guns. These guns have an air pump attached and also a hopper.The hopper is the top piece of…

Characteristics of the Four Elements The four Elements possess unique characteristics and their functions are related to these characteristics. These characteristics have been explained carefully, with ultimate simplicity; where accurate and deep meanings have been considered which will also been elaborated in future sections. Briefly, the four Elements include the following components: Fire Air Water Soil a) Fire: comes with Heat and Dryness. It is the lightest of all Elements b) Air: comes…

Introduction Deforestation is essentially the destruction of the forest by human beings. It not just influences the plants and animals living in the forest, as well as the earth and us humans living on it. On top of that, People can 't get by without the forests; the forest purify our air and water, in addition to the Forest ' trees prevent erosion, fires, droughts, and flooding. Forests are home to plants and animals that supply different levels of the world’s food chain and the help of which…
