The nail breathes oxygen to live. The nail breathes the oxygen dissolved in the water.


Given that the aquarium is a small bioma there is not enoguh source of oxygen to replace the oxygen consumed by the snail, except for the oxygen produced by the aquatinc plants inside the aquarium.


Plants produce oxygen through the process named photosynthesis. Photosynthesis requires light.


Given that the aquarium is kept dark, the aquatic plants cannot carry out the process of photosyntthesis and so there will not be generation new oxygen and the snails will die after they do not have oxygen to breath.

Why would it be hard to find the ideal CO2 level if the light intensity were very low?
garik1379 [7]
Remember that CO2, light and heat (to activate the reaction and keep the enzymes happy) are all needed for a reaction. When one goes missing, it destroys the whole process.

1. No light = no reaction can be made. That means the plant wouldn't intake any CO2 anyway.

2. When very hot the enzymes will denature (plant dead) or when cold, the activation energy will not be there. So once again, it will not respond to light as it is not its primary concern.

What causes reactive hyperemia to increase tissue perfusion? local controls hormonal controls respiratory controls urinary contr
Over [174]
I believe that local controls are what causes reactive hyperemia to increase tissue perfusion. Reactive hyperemia or venous hyperemia is the transient increase in organ blood flow that occurs following a brief period of ischaemia. 
Tissue perfusion is the decrease in oxygen resulting in the failure to nourish the tissues at the capillary level. Local blood flow regulation involves the rapid control of arterial vasomotion based on the metabolic needs of the surrounding tissues and cells.
