Carbon Dioxide is CO2, or 1 carbon atom for 2 oxygen atoms. To convert carbon to carbon dioxide, simply introduce energy to carbon in the presence of oxygen, i. e. burn coal.

Which gas is important for your survival?

Oxygen is the most important for human survival, just as plants need carbon dioxide. Humans and plants have a symbiotic relationship in that regard.


How do greenhouse gases pollute the world?

Greenhouse gases are gases that help trap the sun's warmth in our atmosphere and maintain the temperature that we enjoy today. The greenhouse effect is essential to life on earth as we know it. Thus it is a misunderstanding to regard them as pollutants. Most of the greenhouse gases are colourless, odourless and, in themselves, harmless. However, a slight increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere would result in global warming and climate change, while a slight reduction in greenhouse gases would result in global cooling. In the absence of human activity, the amount of carbon dioxide, the most abundant greenhouse gas, remains relatively constant over a long period of time. There is, of course, a recycling of carbon to carbon dioxide and back, as plants take in carbon dioxide, convert it to organic matter, then die and decay (or are burnt in forest fires), once again giving off carbon dioxide, but this is a natural cycle and does not alter the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It is because of human activity that results in increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases that we are now beginning to experience global warming and climate change. However, this is not pollution in the normal sense of the word.


Why are scientist so concernd by the increase of carbon dioxide?

Carbon dioxide is a gas which has high potential in regard to the green house effect. carbon dioxide can cause global warming by absorbing large amount of heat. this heat trapped is not allowed to go further in space and thus increase the overall temperature of earth. Moreover this global warming does not allow the heat to go in ozone layer thus restricting the min temp required for the formation of ozone and depleting it.

Is wheat a C4 plant?

Technically, the answer is no because it does not have the anatomical structure of C4 plants. However, it has adaptation similar to C4 plants with regard to carbon dioxide use efficiency. (Ref. Mineral nutrition of higher plants : 2nd edt : pg 140)

Does smoke made by humans heat up Earth?

Smoke and those emissions we usually regard as pollution have very little effect on global warming. It is carbon dioxide, often associated with smoke but actually a colourless and odourless gas, that is the main man-made cause of global warming.


Why is the process that takes place in a mitochondrion often described as being the opposite of the process that takes place in a chloroplast?

Because the reactions involved are opposite. In cellular respiration (occurs in mitochondrion), glucose reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. In photosynthesis (which occurs in chloroplasts) carbon dioxide and water are used to produce glucose and give off oxygen.The chemical processes are opposites with regard to the reactants and products, with respiration releasing energy and photosynthesis storing energy.
