. Hemoglobin (Hb) and oxygen gas form a complex (HbO2) that carries oxygen throughout the human body. Unfortunately, carbon mono

xide also binds to hemoglobin so that an equilibrium is established. Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs when the concentration of HbO2 in the blood is reduced. HbO2 CO HbCO O2 The first aid for a person suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning is to (1) remove them to an area of fresh air, and (2) administer oxygen. Using the principles of equilibrium, explain how each of these helps to restore the HbO2 concentration.

Answer:

1. Removing them to an area of fresh air. This helps to prevents further poisoning by the carbon monoxide and increase the amount of oxygen entering into the body. This will help to reduce the concentration of carbon monoxide binding oxygen

2. Administering pure oxygen goes a long way to enhance ventilation and increase the oxygen saturation to 100%. This will help to overcome the effect of the carbon monoxide and promote more hemoglobin binding

A sample of seawater contains 1.3 g of calcium ions in 3,100 kg of solution. what is the calcium ion concentration of this solut
IrinaVladis [17]

A unit of ppm has an acronym of parts per million. The equivalent units of ppm is therefore mg/L and mg/kg. So the ppm is:

mass Ca+ = 1.3 g = 1300 mg

 

ppm = 1300 mg / 3100 kg

<span>ppm = 0.42 ppm</span>

As you move upward, from level, in an energy pyramid, available energy ____.
svetlana [45]

The available energy decreases as one moves upward in an energy pyramid.

<h3>Energy pyramid</h3>

The energy pyramid represents a model of how energy is transferred from one trophic level to another in ecosystems.

Energy is transferred from producers to primary consumers, from primary to secondary consumers, from secondary to tertiary consumers, and so on.

Only about 10% of the available energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next with the remaining 90% being lost as heat to the environment.

Thus, as one moves up the energy pyramid, the available energy decreases. This is why organisms at the higher end of the energy pyramid have to devise an efficient way of extracting energy from their foods.
