Conversion of gaseous oxygen from the atmosphere into liquid oxygen
follows which change of state of matter?
Answers
ANSWER:-
Atmospheric oxygen is in O2 and a gas. Then we inhale the air, our efficient lungs do the magic to filter out the oxygen and push them into the blood stream.
Atmospheric oxygen is in O2 and a gas. Then we inhale the air, our efficient lungs do the magic to filter out the oxygen and push them into the blood stream.When we say hemo and globin transport the oxygen using the iron ions. In what state oxygen is transported in the blood? as a gas or a liquid or an ion? It is hard for me to conceive of the idea that oxygen would be in gaseous form in the blood. "GAS in blood?" e.g. Arterial Blood Gas Test.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:-
Regarding the state of oxygen in blood: It is in solution in the blood plasma (which mostly consists of water), in the form of single molecules. Think of water which you leave exposed to air: carbon dioxide will be captured and dissolved (along with the other gases in air), but these molecules are not gaseous which is different from the "classical" states.Back to oxygen: As your reference already states, most of the oxygen in solution will bind to hemoglobin. The actual state of oxygen in that complex has been debated, but it is believed to be reduced by the hemoglobin iron to the superoxide anion, coordinated to Fe3+. See Wikipedia on this.Also, the lungs do not "convert" the atmospheric oxygen to anything, they rather allow, due to their very large surface area, the quick exchange of oxygen/carbon dioxide in solution and in the air.
