What does plants and other photosynthetic organism such as algae take in?
Plants and other photosynthetic organisms such as algae take in ________ from the atmosphere and combine it with water and energy from the sun to form sugar.
Where does the carbon in CO2 go Doesn't gravity and rain clean the CO2 from the atmosphere?
No. Carbon dioxide is thoroughly mixed into the atmosphere and cannot separate from the air simply though gravity. Some carbon dioxide does go into water to become locked away in carbonate minerals, but the primary way of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is through photosynthesis, a process by which plants and algae convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen. Currently we are producing more carbon dioxide than the plants can absorb, resulting in an increase in the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Does algae produce carbon dioxide?
Algae are plants and produce oxygen from carbon dioxide when exposed to sunlight by photosynthesis. At night they produce carbon dioxide though cellular respiration.
Why do marine organisms with shells remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
1. As part of the carbon cycle known as photosynthesis, plants and algae absorb carbon dioxide, light, and water to produce carbohydrate energy for themselves and oxygen as a waste product.
What do plants and algae need for photosynthesis?
They need light and carbon dioxide.
What gas is removed from the atmosphere by plants and algae?
it removes carbon.
What does plants and other photosynthetic organism such as algae take in?
Plants and other photosynthetic organisms such as algae take in ________ from the atmosphere and combine it with water and energy from the sun to form sugar.
What organism comsumes carbon dioxide?
Plants and some algae consume carbon dioxide in photosynthesis

Why is there is so little carbon dioxide and more oxygen in Earth's atmosphere?
Algae and later plants carried out photosynthesis, which uses sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen. This process removed carbon dioxide from the air and added oxygen. Additional carbon dioxide was removed and locked away in carbonate rocks such as limestone.
What absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
The carbon dioxide is absorbed by: 1. Chlorophyll in green plants. The chlorophyll breaks down the carbon dioxide to carbon and oxygen. The carbon is used by the plant as a nutrient and the oxygen is released to the atmosphere. 2. Oceans. The carbon dioxide absorbed and dissolved in the water. The carbon dioxide is adsorbed by green algae and water micro organisms.
What does it mean to say that algae fuel is carbon neutral?
Carbon neutral means that algae fuel does not affect the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Algae takes in carbon dioxide as it grows, then, when the fuel is burnt, this same carbon dioxide is released. No increase, just exactly the same amount. This is why biofuel is so much better than fossil fuel which releases carbon that had been hidden underground for millions of years, so adding to the levels in the atmosphere.
How are algae like higher plants?
Algae uses organic wastes in the water and produces oxygen. Plants produce oxygen after inhaling carbon dioxide.
Why do green plants algae and some bacteria need carbon dioxide for?
Green plants, algae, and some bacteria need carbon dioxide (CO2) for photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, they use CO2 along with sunlight and water to produce glucose and oxygen. Glucose serves as the energy source for the organisms, while oxygen is released into the atmosphere. This process is vital for primary production and the oxygenation of the Earth's atmosphere.
