Soil moisture. Soil moisture affects the soil biota in two ways. Biologically water is essential for life and for enzyme activity and metabolism and, is a solvent for biological nutrients and other chemicals. Physically, soil moisture affects soil temperature (water is good conductor of heat) and soil aeration.oil moisture. Soil moisture affects the soil biota in two ways.

Your blood is actually always red! Blood in your veins has very little oxygen and is a dark red color that looks almost blue when covered by your skin. Your arteries have bright red blood because it has a lot of oxygen in it that is being carried throughout your body to be used by tissues.
Each hemoglobin protein is made up subunits called hemes, which are what give blood its red color. More specifically, the hemes can bind iron molecules, and these iron molecules bind oxygen. The blood cells are red because of the interaction between iron and oxygen. When the iron is oxygenated(Fe+3), it becomes red. When the iron is deoxygenated(Fe+2), it becomes blue. This is why your veins are blue. When hemoglobin is carrying a lot of oxygen (like when just leaving the lungs), blood is bright red.
