Oxygen Exchange and Transport Oxygen exchange or respiration takes place at a respiratory surface; a boundary between the external environment and the interior of the body. Gas exchange is the process by which oxygen and carbon dioxide (the respiratory gases) move in opposite directions across an organism’s respiratory membranes‚ between the air or water of the external environment and the body fluids of the internal environment. Oxygen is needed by cells to extract energy from organic molecules

movement and so respiration in essential to life. During respiration glucose and oxygen are used in a reaction that produces energy and gives out carbon dioxide and water as waste products. Glucose is obtained by digestion of food and oxygen is taken from the air during a process called breathing or ventilation. Pulmonary Ventilation is the term given to the movement of air in and out of the lungs; the rate of pulmonary ventilation is defined as the tidal volume multiplied by the number of breaths taken

Oxygen binding Today scientists try to explore the chemistry basis behind the biological processes. As a result of this‚ new areas have evolved such as bioinorganic chemistry and bioorganic chemistry. In this section we will talk about an important concept in bioinorganic chemistry called “Metallobiomolecules”. Metallobiomolecules

waters‚ such as lakes and streams. Phosphates are essential to aquatic plant growth‚ but too much phosphate can lead to the growth of algae and results in an algae bloom. Too much algae can cause a decrease in the amount in dissolved oxygen in the water. Oxygen in water is affected in many different ways by phosphates Phosphorus is usually present in natural waters as phosphate(Mcwelsh and Raintree‚ 1998). Phosphates are present in fertilizers and laundry detergents and can enter the water from

FISH FARMING Fish farming is the principal form of aquaculture‚ while other methods may fall under mariculture. Fish farming involves raising fish commercially in tanks or enclosures‚ usually for food. A facility that releases young (juvenile) fish into the wild for recreational fishing or to supplement a species’ natural numbers is generally referred to as a fish hatchery. Worldwide‚ the most important fish species used in fish farming are carp‚ salmon‚ tilapia and catfish

Eating fish is labeled as being good for your health; however is farmed fish good for you? More people are opting to eat fish. They have been influenced by reports from the American Heart Association‚ The United States Department of Agriculture and also mass media‚ that eating fish regularly (1 to 2 times a week)‚ may reduce the risk of diseases ranging from asthma and prostate cancer to heart disease. With this increase awareness of healthy benefits of eating fish adds to the trend of fish
