ater is considered hypoxic (lacking oxygen) if it contains 2 mg/l or less dissolved oxygen. think of the food chain that exists in the gulf of mexico: what are the types of organisms that likely live at the bottom of the gulf, where the water is most hypoxic? how can a lack of oxygen affect them? which cellular processes are affected by a lack of oxygen?

Respuesta :

When cells are not given glucose and oxygen, necrosis, or cell death, takes place. The fact that cells can endure hypoxia is noteworthy. The intrinsic apoptotic pathway is activated by acute oxygen deprivation, and this results in a lowering of the mitochondrial membrane's potential, according to early study.

How is cellular respiration impacted by a lack of oxygen?

When oxygenated blood is not given to cells, cellular membranes break down, causing anaerobic metabolism and a loss of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Since oxygen is needed for algae to break down, fish and other aquatic species have much less DO available to them, which has an adverse effect on their health and frequently results in fish death. Low DO in water is also brought on by the decomposition of aquatic plants and phytoplankton that are submerged.

Low oxygen levels in your bodily tissues are known as hypoxia.You may be at risk for hypoxia if you have one of several chronic heart and lung diseases. Hypoxia poses a serious risk to life.
