Is the level of carbon dioxide higher in a city or a garden?
There are perhaps millions of people, cars and power plants in a city that produce carbon dioxide as a waste product. In a garden, plants take up and use CO2 and a few insects, bugs and snails make CO2. That means that the city is much worse.
What will happen if the build up of carbon dioxide in the air is a lot faster than the rate of consumption of the plants?
There will be more and more carbon dioxide in the air. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a powerful greenhouse gas. Plants (grass, trees and all vegetation) absorb CO2 out of the air and store it. If the CO2 build up is faster than the plants' consumption then there will be more CO2 in the atmosphere. The CO2 will hold more and more heat from the sun, and earth will get warmer and warmer.
What are the plants called which fix carbon dioxide?
"fix" carbon dioxide? If turning CO2 into oxygen is what you meant. They are called plants. Better go with the green ones. They use light, CO2 and H2O as food and ends up producing O2 or oxygen.
What is the role of decomeposers in an ecosystem?
they eat up the dead plants and animals they can be called (the clean up) crew!
Does nuclear energy release greenhouse effects?
Yes.Most power plants burn fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) to generate electricity and so contribute to global warming.Burning of these fuels releases long-hidden carbon dioxide (CO2) which adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The natural carbon cycle and the natural greenhouse effect are being overwhelmed by this extra gas. The carbon cycle can only distribute about half of it. The greenhouse effect has become an accelerated greenhouse effect, warming the planet.Power plants like nuclear, hydro, solar, wind, wave, tidal, and geothermal do not release CO2. Biofuel plants release CO2, but as it was only captured during the growing season of the fuel, it is part of the carbon cycle, so it is carbon neutral. None of these renewable energy power plants contribute to global warming.
Best way to Lock up CO2?
As trees / plants.
How do you clean up water pollutuin?
PLANTS
Do plants give animals carbon dioxide?
well on plants they die and shrivel up like a rasin. then on animals they just cant breathe.

How do oxygen and carbon dioxide interact with plants?
CO2 is taken up by plants and is converted (with water) into sugars and O2.
Do power plants blow up after 50 years?
No, power plants do not blow up after 50 years.

When did Jean Senebier show that plants take up CO2?
Jean Senebier proved that plants use CO2 in their growth process in the late 1700s. Francois Huber assisted Senebier with this research.
What is on positive thing and one negative thing about nuclear power plants?
Good: it's a clean energy Bad: if it blows up well...yeah it would be bad :/

What happens to carbon dioxide molecules in the body of plants?
The process of photosynthesis breaks up CO2 molecules.
Organisms help to clean up pollutants?
trees and other plants.
