Question

The level of oxygen at high altitudes is lower as compared to that at sea level. It takes some time for the body of a person, who travels to a place high up in the mountains, to adjust to the changed conditions. The body adjusting to the surroundings, is known as acclimatisation. Which of the following changes would we observe in a person who has just travelled to a place high up in the mountains?​

Answer 1

Answer:

At high altitudes, oxygen molecules are further apart because there is less pressure to “push” them together. This effectively means there are fewer oxygen molecules in the same volume of air as we inhale.
