What is OXIC condition?

The term oxic is often used to describe an environment, a condition, or a habitat in which oxygen is present. Compare: anoxic, hypoxic.

What are anoxic water conditions?

Anoxic waters are areas of sea water, fresh water, or groundwater that are depleted of dissolved oxygen and are conditions of hypoxia. Anoxic conditions will occur if the rate of oxidation of organic matter by bacteria is greater than the supply of dissolved oxygen.

What is the difference between aerobic and OXIC?

As adjectives the difference between aerobic and oxic is that aerobic is living or occurring only in the presence of oxygen eg aerobic bacteria while oxic is (obsolete) sharp; pointy or oxic can be containing oxygen.

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic exercise?

Aerobic means ‘with air’ and refers to the body producing energy with the use of oxygen. This typically involves any exercise that lasts longer than two minutes in duration. Anaerobic means ‘without air’ and refers to the body producing energy without oxygen.

What is meant by anoxic?

What is anoxia? Anoxia happens when your body or brain completely loses its oxygen supply. Anoxia is usually a result of hypoxia. This means that a part of your body doesn’t have enough oxygen.

What is the basic difference between anoxic and anaerobic condition in reference to phosphorus removal?

In anoxic zone, nitrate is electron acceptor instead of oxygen. In anaerobic zone, the biological phosphorus removal (BPR) is done by a group of microbes named PAOs (polyphosphate accumulating organisms). These microbes are capable of accumulating more phosphorus than non-PAOs organisms.

What is OXIC sediment?

Deep-Sea Sediments Partially oxic sediments accumulate under well-oxygenated bottom water, but burial of organic matter leads to the consumption of oxygen within the bioturbated zone and to greyish to green colours, as iron is in a reduced state.
