The oxygen is used in a host of biochemical transformations. A number of iron and copper metalloproteins have evolved to transport oxygen from the lungs or gills to where it is needed and to store it until it is needed.

Our goal is for you to understand why the chemical properties of these elements make them essential for life. We begin with a discussion of the strategies organisms use to extract transition metals from their environment.

Treatment involves administering pure oxygen to displace CO. Additionally, it explains the concept of the equilibrium constant (\(K_\text{eq}\)), which quantifies the ratio of product to reactant concentrations in chemical reactions at equilibrium, a value determined experimentally and dependent on temperature.
