<span>The viscosity of blood is highest when hematocrit is higher.

Hematocrit is termed as the volume percentage of red blood cells which is in blood. Hematocrit is the most considered integral parts of person's complete blood count which results together with hemoglobin concentration.

 Platelets and white blood cells also count. The work of red blood cells is to transfer oxygen from lungs to all other parts of the body tissues and to samples of blood of hematocrit.</span>

Viscosity is defined as the ability of a fluid to resist flow. Viscosity of the blood is increased if the hematocrit is increased. Hematocrit is defined as the proportion of red blood cells to the total volume of blood. Hematocrit can be increased by conditions such as polycythemia vera (increased production of red blood cells) and dehydration (decrease in plasma volume).

<em>Viscosity of the blood is determined by the </em><em /><em>hematocrit, red blood cell aggregation and deformability, and plasma viscosity with the hematocrit being the most important. </em>

Disscus the importance of phytoplankton to the composition of the earth's atmosphere?​
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Phytoplankton are essential for atmospheric and climate regulation.

Explanation:

Phytoplankton are autotrophs, they use solar energy, along with inorganic carbon and water to produce their own food source via photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, they also produce oxygen, integral for the planet's atmospheric composition.

At their large biomass, phytoplankton contribute to a majority of the oxygen used by consumers (most animals).

             6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light  →  C6H12O6 + 6 O2

Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light       Glucose + Oxygen

Along with fossil fuels, human agricultural practices have contributed large amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere, This causes global warming, a major environmental crisis- global warming also leads to landmass loss, biosphere disruption and reduces biodiversity in mass extinction events.

Phytoplankton carbon cycling produces organic matter which functions as carbon sinks in our oceans. Thus, as phytoplankton use large amounts of CO2, they help combat warming cycles, along with producing O2 in atmospheric and climate regulation.
