Question

mountain climbers get in trouble when climbing at high altitude because there is less oxygen available as you go up in altitude. Above 8,000 m there is not enough oxygen to sustain life thus being called the death zone. Which of following processes would come to a halt if there is not enough oxygen (such as when mountain climbers adventuring into the death zone)?
