The anti-gas respirator is useless for this purpose because the noxious gases in an unventilated compartment usually lack oxygen.
Iziphefumlise eziehosene negesi azilencedo kule msebenzi igesi enokenokalisa kwikhompalimente elingena-ziventileytazi zidla ngekuswela umongomoya.

Oxygen

voorbeelde

Even so, the supply of oxygen never runs out, and the atmosphere never becomes choked with the “waste” gas, carbon dioxide.
Kuyo yonke loo nto, ioksijini zange khe iphele, ibe nomoya ojikeleze umhlaba awukaze uxakwe bubuninzi “bomoya ongcolileyo,” ikharbon diokside.

A patient at rest uses only 25 percent of the oxygen available in his blood.
Umguli ohleli nje usebenzisa kuphela ioksijini engama-25 ekhulwini kwekhoyo kwigazi lakhe.

These cells keep tissue alive by bringing oxygen to it and taking carbon dioxide away.
Ezi seli zigcina izihlunu ziphila ngokuzisa ioksijini nangokuthwala ikarbon diokside ziyikhuphela ngaphandle komzimba.

We are only now beginning to appreciate how strange and splendid it is, how it catches the breath, the loveliest object afloat around the sun, enclosed in its own blue bubble of atmosphere, manufacturing and breathing its own oxygen, fixing its own nitrogen from the air into its own soil, generating its own weather at the surface of its rain forests, constructing its own carapace from living parts: chalk cliffs, coral reefs, fossils from earlier forms of life now covered by layers of new life meshed together around the globe.”
Kukhona ngoku siqalayo ukuyiqonda indlela omangalisa nomhle ngayo, indlela ochukumisa ngayo, uyingqukuva ebukekayo ejikeleza ilanga, ethiwe wambu ngesigqubuthelo esiluhlaza esingumoya ojikeleze umhlaba, uvelisa uze uphefumle ioksijen yawo, uzilungeselela ngokwawo initrojen uyisusa emoyeni uyithumele kumhlaba wawo, uyilawula ngokwawo imozulu ngamahlathi emvula, uzenzela uqweqwe ngezinto eziphilayo: amawa etshokwe, iingqaqa zekorale, izinto ezaziphila mandulo ngoku ezigqunywe ngumaleko wezinto ezintsha eziphilayo ezizalise umhlaba wonke.”

He can also smother the fire by preventing air, and therefore oxygen, from reaching it.
Unokufuthanisela umlilo ngokuthintela umoya kwaye ngoko i-oksijini ukuba ifike kuwo.

So how does the hemoglobin molecule manage to combine and uncombine iron and oxygen in the watery environment of the red blood cell without producing rust?
Ngoko imolekyuli yehemoglobin ikwazi njani ukudibanisa i-iron neoksijini iphinde izahlukanise kwiiseli ezibomvu zegazi ezingamanzi ngaphandle kokuvelisa irusi?

However, when any limited part of the brain is deprived of oxygen for even a few seconds, delicate neuron functions are impaired.
Noko ke, xa nayiphi na inxalenye encinane yobuchopho ingayifumani ioksijini kwanokuba yimizuzwana nje embalwa, imithambo-luvo e-ethe-ethe iyayeka ukusebenza.

Using this process, green vegetation takes in carbon dioxide, water, sunlight, and nutrients and produces carbohydrates and oxygen.
Kule nkqubo, izityalo zisezela ikharbon diokside, amanzi, zisebenzise imitha yelanga nezondlo ukuze zivelise icarbohydrates neoksijini.

Seconds later, the oxygen is discharged into body tissue, sustaining the life of the cells.
Kwimizuzwana nje engephi, ioksijini ikhutshelwa kwezinye izihlunu zomzimba, ngaloo ndlela zilondoloza iiseli zomzimba.

These signals tell the hemoglobin molecules, or taxis, inside the cell that it is time to release their precious passengers, oxygen.
Xa kunje iimolekyuli zehemoglobin ezikwiseli ziyazi ukuba sele kulixesha lokukhupha ioksijini.

The anti-gas respirator is useless for this purpose because the noxious gases in an unventilated compartment usually lack oxygen.
Iziphefumlise eziehosene negesi azilencedo kule msebenzi igesi enokenokalisa kwikhompalimente elingena-ziventileytazi zidla ngekuswela umongomoya.

When we take in oxygen, we complete the cycle.
Uthi ke lo mjikelo ukuze uphelele, thina siphefumle ioksijini leyo ikhutshwa zizityalo.

The pipeline that carried oxygen and nutrients is gone.
Olu sana alusafumani ioksijini nezondlo ngenkaba kanina.

Some researchers also cite damage from free oxygen radicals and a deficiency of vitamins C and D as factors.
Abanye abaphengululi bathi umonakalo ubangelwa ziifree oxygen radicals nokuswela ivithamin C ne-D.

All of these displace oxygen and so have a smothering effect.
Zonke ezi zisusa i-oksijini ngoko zinemiphumela yokufuthanisela.

A nearly colourless (but faintly blue) gaseous form of oxygen, with a characteristic odour like that of weak chlorine. It is
Uhlobo lomongo-moya oluphantse lungabinambala (kodwa luluhlaza kancinci), oluphawulwa ngevumba lweklorini ebuthathaka. Ludla

You have probably seen what happens when oxygen and iron get together in the presence of water.
Mhlawumbi ukhe wayibona into eyenzekayo xa kudibana ioksijini neiron emanzini.

Other writers have put the blame on disease, parasites, . . . changes in the pressure or composition of the atmosphere, poison gases, volcanic dust, excessive oxygen from plants, meteorites, comets, gene pool drainage by little mammalian egg- eaters, . . . cosmic radiation, shift of Earth’s rotational poles, floods, continental drift, . . . drainage of swamp and lake environments, sunspots.” —The Riddle of the Dinosaur.
Abanye ababhali baye ityala balibeka kwizifo, kwizinambuzane ezitya igazi, . . . kwiinguqulelo ezibekho kuxinzeleleko okanye kwindlela osebenza ngayo umoya ojikeleza umhlaba, kwiigesi ezinetyhefu, kuthuli olubangelwa yintabamlilo, kwioksijini eninzi ngokugqithiseleyo evela kwizityalo, kumatye awa esibhakabhakeni, kwiintshakatsholo, kukutshatyalaliswa kwemizila yemfuza zizilwanyana ezincinane ezanyisayo nezidla amaqanda, . . . kwimitha yelanga, kukutshintsha kokujikeleza koMhlaba, kwizikhukula, kukukhukuliswa kwamazwekazi, . . . kukutsha kwamanzi emigxobhozweni nakumachibi amakhulu, nakwithinzi elisitha ukukhanya kwelanga.” —The Riddle of the Dinosaur.

Eyona nto inceda inkanyezi le yiluciferin kwakunye nechiza ekuthiwa yiluciferase.

A high concentration of carbon monoxide pollution, says the book 5000 Days to Save the Planet, “deprives the body of oxygen, impairs perception and thinking, slows reflexes and causes drowsiness.”
Ukungcola okuninzi kwekharbon monokside, incwadi ethi 5000 Days to Save the Planet ithi, “kugqiba ioksijini, konakalise amandla okuqiqa nawokucinga, kwenze amalungu omzimba angasabeli ngokukhawuleza yaye kubangela ukozela.”

It should be remembered, however, that a respirator only acts as a filter and does not provide oxygen.
Kufuneka kukhuzulwe ukuba iziphefumlisi zisebenza njengesikhuseli, kuphela, aziniki umonge-meya.

* Photosynthesis uses sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce carbohydrates and oxygen.
* Iphotosynthesis isebenzisa ukukhanya kwelanga, icarbon dioxide, namanzi ukuze ivelise iicarbohydrate kunye neoksijini.

biological oxygen demand (BOD)
imfuno yomongomoya wendalo (BOD)

Specifically, the earth has an abundance of liquid water; it is located at the right distance from the sun; and it contains the right mixture of atmospheric gases, including large amounts of oxygen.
Umhlaba unamanzi amaninzi; ukumgama ofanelekileyo ukusuka elangeni; yaye unomxube ofanelekileyo wegesi oquka ioxygen eninzi.

Another way is by preventing oxygen from reaching the fire by smothering or blanketing the flames or shutting off all ventilation in the vicinity.
Enye indlela kukukhusela i-oksijini ukufika kumlilo ngokuyifuthanisela okanye ukugquma umlilo okanye ukuvala zonke iindawo ezingenisa nezikhupha umoya endaweni.
