Answer #1

This phenomenon is called agonal breathing and it is the struggle to breath following cardiac arrest or any serious ailment. It can occur a few minutes even after the heart stops. This is because, during cardiac arrest, the heart shows irregular contractions (arrhythmia) and eventually stops. But the blood flow to the brain and vital organs continues for a few more minutes. Hence the respiration continues as long as the brain and respiratory centres get enough blood supply. It may also be manifested in case of cerebral hypoxia. It is a phenomenon that takes place in the living and can extend even after death in some patients. In the living, it is a sign of imminent death and requires emergency treatment. CPR has to be given immediately to revive the patient.

Hello I have a question about organic chemistry 1 lab. When doing chemical tests the Br2 in CCl4. Shows a positive result for alkenes and alkynes?

Background Almost all animal and plant cells require oxygen and give off carbon dioxide. This is called gas exchange and it occurs by passive diffusion. Some animals do all or most of their gas exchange across their skin (for example amphibians) but they have very low metabolisms and use very little oxygen and get rid of very little carbon dioxide. On the other hand humans (and other mammals) have very high metabolic requirements and we can’t rely on gas exchange...
