Polar lows dissipate rapidly when they make landfall .

Cyclone

A polar low is a small - scale , short - lived atmospheric low - pressure system ( depression ) that is found over the ocean areas poleward of the main polar front in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres . Polar lows were first identified on the meteorological satellite imagery that became available in the 1960s , which revealed many small - scale cloud vortices at high latitudes . The most active polar lows are found over certain ice - free maritime areas in or near the Arctic during the winter , such as the Norwegian Sea , Barents Sea , Labrador Sea and Gulf of Alaska . Polar lows dissipate rapidly when they make landfall . Antarctic systems tend to be weaker than their northern counterparts since the air - sea temperature differences around the continent are generally smaller . However , vigorous polar lows can be found over the Southern Ocean . During winter , when cold - core lows with temperatures in the mid-levels of the troposphere reach − 45 ° C ( − 49 ° F ) move over open waters , deep convection forms , which allows polar low development to become possible . The systems usually have a horizontal length scale of less than 1,000 kilometres ( 620 mi ) and exist for no more than a couple of days . They are part of the larger class of mesoscale weather systems . Polar lows can be difficult to detect using conventional weather reports and are a hazard to high - latitude operations , such as shipping and gas and oil platforms . Polar lows have been referred to by many other terms , such as polar mesoscale vortex , Arctic hurricane , Arctic low , and cold air depression . Today the term is usually reserved for the more vigorous systems that have near - surface winds of at least 17 m / s .

Rising in the Rocky Mountains of western Montana , the Missouri flows east and south for 2,341 miles ( 3,767 km ) before entering the Mississippi River north of St. Louis , Missouri .

Missouri River

The Missouri River is the longest river in North America . Rising in the Rocky Mountains of western Montana , the Missouri flows east and south for 2,341 miles ( 3,767 km ) before entering the Mississippi River north of St. Louis , Missouri . The river takes drainage from a sparsely populated , semi-arid watershed of more than half a million square miles ( 1,300,000 km ) , which includes parts of ten U.S. states and two Canadian provinces . When combined with the lower Mississippi River , it forms the world 's fourth longest river system .

Over a hundred actresses had been considered for Emily before one of the casting agents taped Emily Blunt reading some of the lines elsewhere on the Fox lot as she was leaving for her flight to London following her audition for Eragon .

The Devil Wears Prada (film)

Over a hundred actresses had been considered for Emily before one of the casting agents taped Emily Blunt reading some of the lines elsewhere on the Fox lot as she was leaving for her flight to London following her audition for Eragon . Although she read them in her native British accent despite the character being written as American as she is in the novel , Frankel was interested ; Finerman liked her for her sense of humor . After the makers of Eragon cast Sienna Guillory , Frankel called her in the bathroom of `` some dive club '' in London , where she was consoling herself with her sister . He told her that while he would have cast her just from the tape , the studio wanted to see another audition with her dressed more in character . She insisted on continuing to play the character as British ; Both Hathaway and Emily Blunt lost weight for their roles , with Hathaway later recounting that `` ( she ) and I would clutch at each other and cry because we were so hungry . '' Blunt later denied rumors she did this at the filmmakers ' request .

It is governed by the presidentially appointed Board of Governors or Federal Reserve Board ( FRB ) .

Federal Reserve System

The Federal Reserve System is composed of several layers . It is governed by the presidentially appointed Board of Governors or Federal Reserve Board ( FRB ) . Twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks , located in cities throughout the nation , oversee the privately owned U.S. member banks . Nationally chartered commercial banks are required to hold stock in the Federal Reserve Bank of their region , which entitles them to elect some of their board members . The Federal Open Market Committee ( FOMC ) sets monetary policy ; it consists of all seven members of the Board of Governors and the twelve regional bank presidents , though only five bank presidents vote at any given time : the president of the New York Fed and four others who rotate through one - year terms . There are also various advisory councils . Thus , the Federal Reserve System has both public and private components . The structure is considered unique among central banks . It is also unusual in that the United States Department of the Treasury , an entity outside of the central bank , prints the currency used .

The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as products .

Enzyme

Enzymes / ˈɛnzaɪmz / are macromolecular biological catalysts . Enzymes accelerate chemical reactions . The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as products . Almost all metabolic processes in the cell need enzyme catalysis in order to occur at rates fast enough to sustain life . Metabolic pathways depend upon enzymes to catalyze individual steps . The study of enzymes is called enzymology and a new field of pseudoenzyme analysis has recently grown up , recognising that during evolution , some enzymes have lost the ability to carry out biological catalysis , which is often reflected in their amino acid sequences and unusual ' pseudocatalytic ' properties .

Joseph Priestley

Priestley 's Daventry friends helped him obtain another position and in 1758 he moved to Nantwich , Cheshire , living at Sweetbriar Hall in the town 's Hospital Street ; this time there was happier . The congregation cared less about Priestley 's heterodoxy and he successfully established a school . Unlike many schoolmasters of the time , Priestley taught his students natural philosophy and even bought scientific instruments for them . Appalled at the quality of the available English grammar books , Priestley wrote his own : The Rudiments of English Grammar ( 1761 ) . His innovations in the description of English grammar , particularly his efforts to dissociate it from Latin grammar , led 20th - century scholars to describe him as `` one of the great grammarians of his time '' . After the publication of Rudiments and the success of Priestley 's school , Warrington Academy offered him a teaching position in 1761 .

`` You Ai n't Goin ' Nowhere '' was written and recorded during this period and features lyrics that allude to the singer waiting for his bride to arrive and possibly , a final premarital fling .

You Ain't Goin' Nowhere

Starting in June 1967 and ending in October 1967 , Bob Dylan 's writing and recording sessions with the Band ( then known as the Hawks ) in Woodstock , New York , were the source of many new songs that were circulated as demos by Dylan 's publisher for fellow artists to record . `` You Ai n't Goin ' Nowhere '' was written and recorded during this period and features lyrics that allude to the singer waiting for his bride to arrive and possibly , a final premarital fling . The original version found on 1975 's The Basement Tapes album was recorded with the Band ( minus Levon Helm who had temporarily left the group at this point ) in the basement of their house in West Saugerties , New York , called `` Big Pink '' . A first take recorded during the Basement Tapes sessions includes improvised nonsense lyrics such as `` Just pick up that oil cloth , cram it in the corn / I do n't care if your name is Michael / You 're gon na need some boards / Get your lunch , you foreign bib '' . This alternate take was released in 2014 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 11 : The Basement Tapes Complete .

Miracle of Lanciano

The miracle is usually described roughly as follows : In the city of Lanciano , Italy , then known as Anxanum , some time in the 700s , a Basilian hieromonk was assigned to celebrate Mass at the monastery of St. Longinus . Celebrating in the Latin Rite and using unleavened bread , the monk had doubts about the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation . During the Mass , when he said the Words of Consecration ( `` This is my body . This is my blood '' ) , with doubt in his soul , the priest saw the bread change into living flesh and the wine change into blood which coagulated into five globules , irregular and differing in shape and size . The miracle was supposed to have been contemporaneously investigated and confirmed by the Church , though no documents from this alleged investigation are extant .

Cases in which the urine is dilute include adrenal insufficiency , hypothyroidism , and drinking too much water or too much beer .

Hyponatremia

The causes of hyponatremia are typically classified by a person 's body fluid status into low volume , normal volume , or high volume . Low volume hyponatremia can occur from diarrhea , vomiting , diuretics , and sweating . Normal volume hyponatremia is divided into cases with dilute urine and concentrated urine . Cases in which the urine is dilute include adrenal insufficiency , hypothyroidism , and drinking too much water or too much beer . Cases in which the urine is concentrated include syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion ( SIADH ) . High volume hyponatremia can occur from heart failure , liver failure , and kidney failure . Conditions that can lead to falsely low sodium measurements include high blood protein levels such as in multiple myeloma , high blood fat levels , and high blood sugar .

Memorial Day

The preferred name for the holiday gradually changed from `` Decoration Day '' to `` Memorial Day , '' which was first used in 1882 . Memorial Day did not become the more common name until after World War II , and was not declared the official name by Federal law until 1967 . On June 28 , 1968 , Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act , which moved four holidays , including Memorial Day , from their traditional dates to a specified Monday in order to create a convenient three - day weekend . The change moved Memorial Day from its traditional May 30 date to the last Monday in May . The law took effect at the federal level in 1971 . After some initial confusion and unwillingness to comply , all 50 states adopted Congress ' change of date within a few years .

He reached the United States aboard the USS Fletcher ( DD - 445 ) , a destroyer being used to transport refugees . He joined their uncle on the Upper West Side of Manhattan . Initially finding work with the Libby 's canned food company , he came upon a bride doll in a department store window display for $29.95 ( which he claimed would be equivalent to $200 in the early 21st century , and figured that he could make a similar doll much more affordable . He became a toymaker , and after seeing much success with these initial dolls , he earned his first million dollars and founded Topper Toys , which produced such famous toys as the Suzy Cute line of miniature dolls and the Johnny Lightning line of model cars .

When the pendulum is at the top of its swing the force bringing the pendulum back down to this midpoint is gravity .

Restoring force

Another example is of a pendulum . When the pendulum is not swinging all the forces acting on the pendulum are in equilibrium . The force due to gravity and the mass of the object at the end of the pendulum is equal to the tension in the string holding that object up . When a pendulum is put in motion the place of equilibrium is at the bottom of the swing , the place where the pendulum rests . When the pendulum is at the top of its swing the force bringing the pendulum back down to this midpoint is gravity . As a result gravity can be seen as the restoring force in this . Restoring force of a spring : ( f = - kx )

Another event like the 1976 drought was in the summer of 2003 . This was also notable for the temperatures , with 100 ° F being hit in the United Kingdom for the first time since records began , with a top temperature of 38.5 ° C ( 101.3 ° F ) recorded in Faversham , Kent , and some places recording up to , or above , 40 ° C ( 104 ° F ) unofficially . This drought and the associated heat wave affected the whole of Europe , not just the United Kingdom , as with the 1976 event . The average temperature was the highest since 1868 , measured over February to September . This added to the severity of the drought , with high rates of evaporation . The summer ranked as the 4th highest for potential evaporation since 1961 , and this evaporation alone exceeded rainfall totals across a third of the United Kingdom .

This caused the water level of the lake to drop over the next several millennia .

Lake Texcoco

Between the Pleistocene era and the last glacial period , the lake occupied the entire Mexico Valley . Lake Texcoco reached its maximum extent 11,000 years ago with a size of about 2,189 square miles and over 500ft deep . When the lake 's water level fell it created several paleo - lakes that would connect with each other from time to time . At the north in the modern community of San Miguel Tocuilla there is a great paleontological field , with a great amount of pleistocenic fauna . The Lake was primarily fed by snowmelt and rain runoff when the Mexico Valley had a temperate climate . Between 11,000 and 6,000 years ago , the climate naturally warmed and snowfall in central Mexico became less prevalent . This caused the water level of the lake to drop over the next several millennia . Remnants of the ancient shoreline that Lake Texcoco had from the last glacial period can be seen on some slopes of Mount Tlaloc as well as mountains west of Mexico City . The disarticulated remains of seven mammoths dated between 10,220 ± 75 and 12,615 ± 95 years ( BP ) were found , suggesting human presence . It is believed that the lake disappeared and re-formed at least 10 times in the last 30,000 years .

The essentiality of bread in the diet was reflected in the name for the rest of the meal : ópson , `` condiment '' , i.e. bread 's accompaniment , whatever it might be .

History of bread

Even in antiquity there were a wide variety of breads . In ancient times the Greek bread was barley bread : Solon declared that wheaten bread might only be baked for feast days . By the 5th century BC bread could be purchased in Athens from a baker 's shop , and in Rome , Greek bakers appeared in the 2nd century BC , as Hellenized Asia Minor was added to Roman dominion as the province of Asia ; the foreign bakers of bread were permitted to form a collegium . In the Deipnosophistae , the author Athenaeus ( c.A.D. 170 -- c. 230 ) describes some of the bread , cakes , and pastries available in the Classical world . Among the breads mentioned are griddle cakes , honey - and - oil bread , mushroom - shaped loaves covered in poppy seeds , and the military specialty of rolls baked on a spit . The type and quality of flours used to produce bread could also vary , as noted by Diphilus when he declared `` bread made of wheat , as compared with that made of barley , is more nourishing , more digestible , and in every way superior . '' In order of merit , the bread made from refined ( thoroughly sieved ) flour comes first , after that bread from ordinary wheat , and then the unbolted , made of flour that has not been sifted . '' The essentiality of bread in the diet was reflected in the name for the rest of the meal : ópson , `` condiment '' , i.e. bread 's accompaniment , whatever it might be .

Pilgrims (Plymouth Colony)

The Pilgrims or Pilgrim Fathers were early European settlers of the Plymouth Colony in present - day Plymouth , Massachusetts , United States . The Pilgrims ' leadership came from the religious congregations of Brownist separatist Puritans who had fled the volatile political environment in England for the relative calm and tolerance of 16th -- 17th century Holland in the Netherlands . The Pilgrims held Puritan Calvinist religious beliefs but , unlike other Puritans , they maintained that their congregations needed to be separated from the English state church . As a separatist group , they were also concerned that they might lose their English cultural identity if they remained in the Netherlands , so they arranged with English investors to establish a new colony in North America . The colony was established in 1620 and became the second successful English settlement in North America ( after the founding of Jamestown , Virginia in 1607 ) . The Pilgrims ' story became a central theme of the history and culture of the United States .

Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer

`` Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer '' is a novelty Christmas song . Written by Randy Brooks , the song was originally performed by the husband - and - wife duo of Elmo and Patsy Trigg Shropshire in 1979 . In the lyrics , a grandmother gets drunk on spiked eggnog at a family Christmas Eve party and , having forgotten to take her medication and despite pleas and warnings from her family , staggers outside into a snowstorm . While on her walk home , she is trampled to death by Santa Claus and his reindeer pulled sleigh . The second and third verses describe the next day 's Christmas gathering where `` all the family 's dressed in black ( for mourning ) '' and the question is asked as to whether Grandma 's gifts should be opened at all or sent back the next day for possible refunds or exchanges ( the collective answer to that question is a loud `` Send them back ! '' ) , while the widowered `` Grandpa '' acts casual like nothing 's happened , drinks beer , watches football and plays cards with `` cousin Mel '' . The song closes with a warning that Santa , `` a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves '' , is unfit for a driver 's license , and that the listeners should beware .

Hemp

Hemp was made illegal to grow without a permit in the U.S. under the Controlled Substances Act passed in 1970 because of its relation to marijuana , and any imported hemp products must meet a zero tolerance level . Some states have made the cultivation of industrial hemp legal , but farmers in many states have not yet begun to grow it because of resistance from the federal Drug Enforcement Administration , making `` large - scale hemp growing '' in the United States `` not viable '' as late as 2013 . In 2013 , after the legalization of cannabis in the state , several farmers in Colorado planted and harvested several acres of hemp , bringing in the first hemp crop in the United States in over half a century . Colorado , Vermont , California , and North Dakota have passed laws enabling hemp licensure . All four states are waiting for permission to grow hemp from the DEA . Currently , Oregon has licensed industrial hemp as of August 2009 . Congress included a provision in the Agricultural Act of 2014 that allowed colleges and state agencies to grow and conduct research on hemp in states where it is legal . Hemp production in Kentucky , formerly the United States ' leading producer , resumed in 2014 .

Assuming Odo commissioned the tapestry , it was probably designed and constructed in England by Anglo - Saxon artists ( Odo 's main power base being by then in Kent ) ; the Latin text contains hints of Anglo - Saxon ; other embroideries originate from England at this time ; and the vegetable dyes can be found in cloth traditionally woven there .

Assuming Odo commissioned the tapestry , it was probably designed and constructed in England by Anglo - Saxon artists ( Odo 's main power base being by then in Kent ) ; the Latin text contains hints of Anglo - Saxon ; other embroideries originate from England at this time ; and the vegetable dyes can be found in cloth traditionally woven there . Howard B. Clarke has proposed that the designer of the tapestry was Scolland , the abbot of St Augustine 's Abbey in Canterbury , because of his previous position as head of the scriptorium at Mont Saint - Michel ( famed for its illumination ) , his travels to Trajan 's Column , and his connections to Wadard and Vital , two individuals identified in the tapestry . The actual physical work of stitching was most likely undertaken by female needle workers . Anglo - Saxon needlework of the more detailed type known as Opus Anglicanum was famous across Europe . It was perhaps commissioned for display in the hall of his palace and then bequeathed to the cathedral he built , following the pattern of the documented but lost hanging of Byrhtnoth .

Many ligand transport proteins bind particular small biomolecules and transport them to other locations in the body of a multicellular organism .

Protein

Many ligand transport proteins bind particular small biomolecules and transport them to other locations in the body of a multicellular organism . These proteins must have a high binding affinity when their ligand is present in high concentrations , but must also release the ligand when it is present at low concentrations in the target tissues . The canonical example of a ligand - binding protein is haemoglobin , which transports oxygen from the lungs to other organs and tissues in all vertebrates and has close homologs in every biological kingdom . Lectins are sugar - binding proteins which are highly specific for their sugar moieties . Lectins typically play a role in biological recognition phenomena involving cells and proteins . Receptors and hormones are highly specific binding proteins .

History of Texas (1845–1860)

When Texas was annexed , Mexico broke diplomatic relations with the United States . The annexation bill did not specifically define the boundaries of Texas . The former republic claimed the Rio Grande as its southern border , while Mexican authorities had always considered the Nueces River , situated further north , to be the boundary of Mexican Texas . The United States sent John Slidell to negotiate with the Mexican government , offering l $25 million ( $692,019,231 today ) to set the Texas border at the Rio Grande and to purchase Mexico 's provinces of Alta California and Santa Fe de Nuevo México .

Due to a transfer of broadcast rights , the entries for the 2001 -- 02 , 2002 -- 03 and 2003 -- 04 seasons were decided on ITV 's The Premiership , which have been subsequently recognised by the BBC . When the BBC previously could not show league footage from 1988 -- 89 to 1991 -- 92 , the winning goal in each season was scored in the FA Cup which they held the rights to . League rights holder ITV had its own competition during these seasons for Goal of the Season , broadcast on the Saint and Greavsie show . Previously the channels had shared league and cup rights ( showing different matches to each other ) and for many years ITV broadcast its own Golden Goals competition as an equivalent of Goal of the Season . From 2013 -- 14 season onwards , the Goal of the Season has been chosen by a Twitter poll and the BBC Sport website . Jack Wilshere is the first player to win Goal of the Season in consecutive seasons ( 2013 -- 14 and 2014 -- 15 ) since the start of the Premier League . The 1987 - 88 competition was unique in that all 10 goals shortlisted were scored by Liverpool players . As of 2015 - 16 , this is the only occasion where the contenders were made up entirely of goals scored by players for one club .

In contrast , the double bond consists of one sigma bond and one pi bond , and a triple bond consists of one sigma bond and two pi bonds ( Moore , Stanitski , and Jurs 396 ) .

Single bond

Usually , a single bond is a sigma bond . An exception is the bond in diboron , which is a pi bond . In contrast , the double bond consists of one sigma bond and one pi bond , and a triple bond consists of one sigma bond and two pi bonds ( Moore , Stanitski , and Jurs 396 ) . The number of component bonds is what determines the strength disparity . It stands to reason that the single bond is the weakest of the three because it consists of only a sigma bond , and the double bond or triple bond consist not only of this type of component bond but also at least one additional bond .

In the first person , as if quoting himself , William speaks to the Dutch people and tells about both the outer conflict -- the Dutch Revolt -- as well as his own , inner struggle : on one hand , he tries to be faithful to the king of Spain , on the other hand he is above all faithful to his conscience : to serve God and the Dutch people .

Chiasmus

The Wilhelmus , the national anthem of the Netherlands , has a structure composed around a thematic chiasmus : the 15 stanzas of the text are symmetrical , in that verses one and 15 resemble one another in meaning , as do verses two and 14 , three and 13 , etc. , until they converge in the eighth verse , the heart of the song . Written in the 16th century , the Wilhelmus originated in the nation 's struggle to achieve independence . It tells of the Father of the Nation William of Orange who was stadholder in the Netherlands under the king of Spain . In the first person , as if quoting himself , William speaks to the Dutch people and tells about both the outer conflict -- the Dutch Revolt -- as well as his own , inner struggle : on one hand , he tries to be faithful to the king of Spain , on the other hand he is above all faithful to his conscience : to serve God and the Dutch people . This is made apparent in the central 8th stanza : `` Oh David , thou soughtest shelter from King Saul 's tyranny . Even so I fled this welter '' . Here the comparison is made between the biblical David and William of Orange as merciful and just leaders who both serve under tyrannic kings . As the merciful David defeats the unjust Saul and is rewarded by God with the kingdom of Israel , so too , with the help of God , will William be rewarded a kingdom ; being either or both the Netherlands , and the kingdom of God .

Cy Young Award

Each league 's award is voted on by members of the Baseball Writers ' Association of America , with one representative from each team . As of the 2010 season , each voter places a vote for first , second , third , fourth and fifth place among the pitchers of each league . The formula used to calculate the final scores is a weighted sum of the votes . The pitcher with the highest score in each league wins the award . If two pitchers receive the same number of votes , the award is shared . The current formula started in the 2010 season . Before that , dating back to 1970 , writers voted for three pitchers , with the formula of 5 points for a first place vote , 3 for a second place vote and 1 for a third place vote . Prior to 1970 , writers only voted for the best pitcher and used a formula of one point per vote .

According to Judith and Neil Morgan , Geisel conceived the core of Mulberry Street in the summer of 1936 aboard the MS Kungsholm , a Swedish American luxury liner , during the return trip from a European vacation with his wife , Helen Palmer . As the Kungsholm endured a storm and Geisel suffered from sea sickness , he jotted down a rambling plot that started with `` a stupid horse and wagon '' . To keep himself occupied , he began reciting poetry to the rhythm of the ship 's engines and soon found himself saying , `` And that is a story that no one can beat , and to think that I saw it on Mulberry Street . '' For days after they landed , he had the rhythm of the ship 's engine stuck in his head , so , at Helen 's suggestion , he decided to write a story based around it .

After leaving Southampton on 10 April 1912 , Titanic called at Cherbourg in France and Queenstown ( now Cobh ) in Ireland before heading west to New York . On 14 April , four days into the crossing and about 375 miles ( 600 km ) south of Newfoundland , she hit an iceberg at 11 : 40 p.m. ship 's time . The collision caused the hull plates to buckle inwards along her starboard ( right ) side and opened five of her sixteen watertight compartments to the sea ; she could only survive four flooding . Meanwhile , passengers and some crew members were evacuated in lifeboats , many of which were launched only partially loaded . A disproportionate number of men were left aboard because of a `` women and children first '' protocol for loading lifeboats . At 2 : 20 a.m. , she broke apart and foundered with well over one thousand people still aboard . Just under two hours after Titanic sank , the Cunard liner RMS Carpathia arrived and brought aboard an estimated 705 survivors .

Principal photography took place in Oahu , Hawaii , in the northeastern area of the island known as the `` windward side '' . The local countryside in modern - day Okinawa had been drastically changed due to the presence of military bases , so other locations in both Japan and Hawaii were scouted as alternative filming locations . Filmmakers selected a property in Oahu that was privately owned by a retired local physician who agreed to allow a portion of the land to be used in the film . To form the Okinawan village portrayed in the film , seven authentic replicas of Okinawan houses were constructed along with more than three acres of planted crops . 50 Okinawa - born Hawaii residents were also recruited as film extras . Filming began on September 23 , 1985 .

Oxygen only began to persist in the atmosphere in small quantities about 50 million years before the start of the Great Oxygenation Event .

Geological history of oxygen

Before photosynthesis evolved , Earth 's atmosphere had no free oxygen ( O ) . Photosynthetic prokaryotic organisms that produced O as a waste product lived long before the first build - up of free oxygen in the atmosphere , perhaps as early as 3.5 billion years ago . The oxygen they produced would have been rapidly removed from the atmosphere by weathering of reducing minerals , most notably iron . This `` mass rusting '' led to the deposition of iron oxide on the ocean floor , forming banded iron formations . Oxygen only began to persist in the atmosphere in small quantities about 50 million years before the start of the Great Oxygenation Event . This mass oxygenation of the atmosphere resulted in rapid buildup of free oxygen . At current rates of primary production , today 's concentration of oxygen could be produced by photosynthetic organisms in 2,000 years . In the absence of plants , the rate of oxygen production by photosynthesis was slower in the Precambrian , and the concentrations of O attained were less than 10 % of today 's and probably fluctuated greatly ; oxygen may even have disappeared from the atmosphere again around 1.9 billion years ago . These fluctuations in oxygen concentration had little direct effect on life , with mass extinctions not observed until the appearance of complex life around the start of the Cambrian period , 541 million years ago . The presence of O provided life with new opportunities . Aerobic metabolism is more efficient than anaerobic pathways , and the presence of oxygen undoubtedly created new possibilities for life to explore . Since the start of the Cambrian period , atmospheric oxygen concentrations have fluctuated between 15 % and 35 % of atmospheric volume . The maximum of 35 % was reached towards the end of the Carboniferous period ( about 300 million years ago ) , a peak which may have contributed to the large size of insects and amphibians at that time .
