When does carbon escape into the air and ground in the water cycle?
The carbon cycle moves carbon mainly along the seawater and soil.
What is the corrosion of carbon steel in seawater?
Steel is corroded by the oxygen that is dissolved in water, and in the case of seawater, the process is catalysed by the salt in the water.
Would animals reduce co2 levels in the atmosphere?
No, only vegetation growing removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
How do biological processes influence the type and amount of gases dissolved in seawater?
Biological processes such as photosynthesis and respiration by marine plants and animals influence the type and amount of gases dissolved in seawater. During photosynthesis, marine plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which increases the dissolved oxygen concentration in seawater. Similarly, during respiration, marine organisms consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide, which reduces the dissolved oxygen concentration and increases carbon dioxide levels. These processes play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of gases in seawater and supporting marine ecosystems.
Is seawater is mixture?
yes
Do humans and animals bodies capture carbon dioxide as part of the growing function i.e. stored carbon dioxide into our bones and muscles?
No. The process of "carbon fixation" that occurs in plants and allows them to utilize CO2 for growing function is not exhibited in animals. Certain animals, such as humans, do however use CO2 for more than just respiratory processes. For instance, the enzyme carbonic anhydrase coverts the compound into bicarbonate, allowing the gas to be used to regulate the body's pH.
When you mix calcium in seawater with carbon dioxide what is the new substance that formed?
The calcium carbonate is formed.
How do animals get carbon?
Animals get carbon by eating plants or algae or other animals that have eaten plants.
Where do animals obtain carbon?
From the plants or animals they eat.
Do animal use carbon?
Animals are carbon based lifeforms; their celular structure is based on carbon atoms. Animals consume food made of organic molecules, which are based on carbon atoms. Animals breath out carbon dioxide, CO2. Yes, animals use carbon.
What does cellular respiration play in the carbon cycle?
Animals produce carbon dioxide. Animals produce carbon dioxide
What factor affect seawater pH?
An essential factor is the absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; also the acid rains.
