Answer:

Administering pure oxygen is a more effective treatment to carbon monoxide poisoning than just placing the victim outside.

Explanation:

It takes a large amount of oxygen to get rid of carbon monoxide from the body, and there is only 20.95% of oxygen in air. Therefore, 100% pure oxygen is required to be administered for a few hours before the carbon monoxide can be removed from the bloodstream.

Carbon Monoxide gets attached to the hemoglobin in the blood, but does not benefit the body in any way.

When a muscle moves, a phosphate is removed from ATP. Breaking a bond in ATP allows the chemical energy stored in the bond to di
Bess [88]

Answer:

Some of the energy released by ATP hydrolysis is used in muscle movement while the rest is lost as heat.

Explanation:

According to the second law of thermodynamics, when energy is transformed from one form to another, some energy is used to perform work while the rest is lost as heat to the surroundings. The energy heat energy lost to the surroundings cannot be used to perform functions.  

According to the given information, the chemical energy released from the breakdown of ATP is converted into mechanical energy during the movement of a muscle. However, some of the energy released from ATP is lost as thermal energy and is not available to serve in the movement of muscles. This loss of part of the energy as heat during muscle movement explains that the process follows the second law of thermodynamics.
