Oxygen that is weighted down by hydrogen
- you could think of it like liquid oxygen
- fish gills are specialized to take the oxygen directly out of water
- fish gills resemble lung tissue
- and function similarly
- oxygen uptake
- carbond dioxide release
We loose weight by breathing out:
- carbon dioxide - CO2
- water - H2O
Where is water in the body?
- Blood plasma
- the watery part of blood
- not the heavier part of
- proteins
- lipids
- minerals
- vitamins
- saliva
- eye fluid
- brain fluid
- lymph fluid
- digestive juices
- bile
- urine
Our body is 65% water.
- Oil keeps water in place
- Like a balloon around air or water
Water
- dominated by oxygen
- does not mix well with oil
- hydrate: hydrogen + oxygen
- dehydrate: not enough water
Oil
- dominated by carbon
- does not mix well with water
- waxy, greasy, fatty: lipid
- dry skin: not enough oil
By Weight:
oxygen weights 14
carbon weights 16

6C versus 6O, O on both outside edges to O wins the water soluble contest.
