Sentences with phrase «faster than oxygen»

This is especially dangerous because red blood cells can uptake carbon monoxide faster than oxygen so if there is a lot of carbon monoxide in the air, it can replace oxygen in cells, leading to injury, tissue damage and eventually death.

Now, if you have all this very cold, nearly freezing water surrounding these ice caps, sucking up carbon dioxide out of the polar atmosphere, at nearly the highest possible rate, 30 times faster than oxygen, and 70 times faster than nitrogen, doesn't it stand to reason that the air that remains might just have a lot less carbon dioxide in it than the atmosphere across the rest of the planet?

Not exact matches

But the drier a cork is, the more oxygen it allows into the wine - which ages it faster than the vintner intended.

«Children are more susceptible to carbon - monoxide poisoning because the gas enters their bloodstream faster than it enters an adult's, cutting off oxygen to the brain and heart,» says Meri - K Appy.

Their approach applies a careful balance of oxygen and light to print solid objects from a liquid pool in minutes instead of hours — rates far faster than traditional printing can achieve.

Mountain air contains less oxygen than air at lower altitudes, so breathing it causes the heart to beat faster and the body to burn more energy.

Mammals maintain a high body temperature because they burn food faster than reptiles do, which means they must take in more oxygen, which means they must breathe faster.

This means that gills have less oxygen to supply to a body that already grows faster than them.

Consequently, massive amounts of reactive gases such as oxygen, hydrogen, and methane are continually being added to Earth's now «anomalous» atmosphere faster than they would otherwise be removed by inorganic chemical processes.

Cyanobacteria such as Synchecoccus elongatus encode a Rubisco enzyme that is faster than land plant Rubisco, though more oxygen sensitive than plant enzymes.

From his own research in chemical oceanography, along with data from a number of recent studies, Weber points out that some negative consequences of greenhouse gas emissions and warming «are manifesting faster than previously predicted,» including ocean acidification and oxygen loss, which are expected to affect «a large fraction of marine species if current trends continue unchecked.»

Anaerobic conditioning is the ability to perform at a rate faster than can be met by the incoming oxygen (source).

Shroom TECH Sport battles fatigue with a strategy unlike any other supplement on the market, providing cellular energy through the production of ATP rather than purely stimulant - based energy, and helping the body to improve oxygen utilization so you can go longer, recover faster, and set a new personal best.

When you have more blood flow, oxygen and nutrient reach your muscles faster than they would before.

As for your muscle physiology, the relative proportion of fast twitch and slow twitch fibers in your muscles is also genetically predetermined, and slow twitch muscle fibers are able to consume more oxygen than fast twitch muscle fibers.

Strength training improves fat loss not only by improving your resting metabolic rate (because slight increases in muscle mass will burn more calories than if that muscle were fat) and through a mechanism called excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), which basically means that your body will continue to burn calories after your workout Though many distance runners may not be terribly concerned about fat loss specifically, they will nevertheless be heartened to know that any slight muscle mass gains from weight training will be balanced by a loss of fat, and fat certainly does not make ANYBODY faster.

Moreover, reactive nitrogen and oxygen species (RNOS) are used extensively in cellular signalling, and cells adaptively regulate endogenous antioxidants on short time scales to respond to deletorious spikes of RNOS faster than we could ever achieve with dietary antioxidants.

The reason more mitochondria don't always mean that you run faster (instead of longer) is because (1) you may have far more mitochondria than necessary to process the maximum amount of oxygen your lungs can take in and your red blood cells transport at any given time, (2) regardless of how many mitochondria you have, the motor neurons connected to your aerobic muscle fibers are smaller than those connected to your anaerobic muscle fibers.

«Short bursts of high intensity trigger the heart and lungs to increase their efficiency in oxygen uptake at a faster rate than endurance training, which in turn increases your fitness and translates to better overall health,» says Phillips.

The better option is to take the aquajet, a little machine that propels you along much faster than just swimming, and that therefore saves on oxygen, too.

«It is true that CO2 can absorb heat a little faster than nitrogen and oxygen but it becomes no hotter because it can not absorb anymore heat than there is available to the other gases.

The 2009 State of the Climate report gives these top indicators: humans emitted 30 billion tons of of CO2 into the atmosphere each year from the burning of fossil fuels (oil, coal, and natural gas), less oxygen in the air from the burning of fossil fuels, rising fossil fuel carbon in corals, nights warming faster than days, satellites show less of the earth's heat escaping into space, cooling of the stratosphere or upper atmosphere, warming of the troposphere or lower atmosphere, etc..

Water vapour, as Stephen Wilde pointed out above, is anyway lighter than air, but heated will expand more in volume becoming even less dense and rise faster, as will air itself, nitrogen and oxygen.

Note that regional proxies, such as the oxygen - isotope temperature reconstructions from the Greenland Ice Core Project that record Dansgaard - Oeschger events, often indicate faster regional rates of climate change than the overall global average for glacial - interglacial transitions, just as today warming is more pronounced in Arctic regions than in equatorial regions (Barnosky et al., 2003; Diffenbaugh and Field, 2013).

Specific heat means the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a [volume of] gas [one degree], and because Carbon Dioxide can raise its temperature with less heat than Nitrogen and Oxygen can (Nitrogen and Oxygen have high specific heats, meaning it takes more heat to raise their temperatures), naturally the temperature of the Carbon Dioxide only jar rises faster than the predominantly Nitrogen - Oxygen jar!

Ekobo like to work with this «wonder grass» because it is a fast growing renewable plant that «recycles a huge quantity of CO2 (12 tons / hectare) and produces 35 % more oxygen than a tree in the same environment».

It's also an incredibly eco-friendly product, as it releases 35 per cent more oxygen into the atmosphere than trees, and is a fast - growing grass, so it can be harvested every 3 - 5 years.
