Chapter 2.3, Problem 2.5YT
Scientific Practices More Oxygen … ?
We live in an atmosphere of 21% oxygen. A match burns in less than a minute, a fireplace consumes a small pine log in about 20 minutes, and we exhale about 15 times a minute. Life on Earth would be very different if the oxygen concentration were twice as high. List at least four ways Earth or our lives might be different with such an increased amount of oxygen.

Search for Life Transfer Task 2 - Salt Substitute
The American Heart Association says that
at greater risk for high blood pressure as a result of eating salt.
According to their website, "as little as one extra gram (half a
teaspoon) of table salt could raise blood pressure as much as 5 mm
Hg" compared to people who do not have this gene (heart.org,
2021). Table salt is made from Na & Cl ions, and there may be
substitutes for it to be used in cooking that do not contain sodium.
Sodium (Na) is the damaging part of table salt.

- Reflection Read and analyze the statement below and answer the corresponding questions in a separate sheet of paper. The air we breathe is composed of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and small amount of other gases. Substances which are not primary components of air and present in relatively high concentrations pollute the air. In accordance with the World Health Organization's guidelines in 2020, the air quality in the Philippines is considered moderately unsafe. High percentage of air pollutants lead to respiratory and pulmonary problems. As senior high school student, how can you contribute to reduce the air pollution?arrow_forwardMULTIPLE CHOICE Question 8 How do phosphate-containing fertilizers and detergents lead to low-oxygen "dead zones" in nearby bodies of water? A. Phosphorus is an effective fertilizer but is toxic in large amounts, leading to wide-scale die-offs of aquatic animals. The microbes that decompose the dead organisms also re- quire large amounts of oxygen. Phosphorus is a substance used as an industrial solvent, leading to both air and water pollution. It causes acid rain, leading to low pH and low oxygen in bodies of water. C. Phosphorus is a chemical used as a pesticide, leading to contamination of water by agri- cultural runoff. When it accumulates in water, it reduces the amount of oxygen. D. Phosphorus is a nutrient that can cause algal blooms, leading to the deaths of aquatic. plants that are no longer able to photosynthesize. The process of decay of the plants and algae uses up a great deal of the available oxygen.arrow_forwardMULTIPLE CHOICE Question 2 s point source pollution or nonpoint source pollution easier to address, and why? Nonpoint source pollution is easier to address because the location at which it is pro- duced can be identified. B. Nonpoint source pollution is easier to address because the types of pollution produced are easier to remove from the environment. Point source pollution is easier to address because the location at which it is produced, can be identified.
