Savannas: It is a mixed woodland grassland ecosystem. Tress are widely spaced so that canopy does not close. For example Serengeti plains of Tanzania.

Why is a lack of oxygen fatal to cells?
sveticcg [70]
Oxygen is a vital element within cellular respiration. An intrinsic part of the cellular respiration cycle is the transfer or electrons through the electron transport chain, and at the end of it exists the mitochondria, in which electrons are donated to the Oxygen and combine with hydrogen ions to form water.
