What name is given to the process by which detritivores return carbon to the atmosphere?
Decomposition. Detritivores are decaying organic creatures, their faecal matter, or both. The carbon in their remains decomposes into the atmosphere.
What parts of the atmosphere interacts?
Events in one part of the atmosphere affect other parts of the atmosphere.
How did surface area affect the rate of sodium carbonate decomposition?
it makes it decompose faster than usual
Is the decomposition reaction of calcium carbonate in an open container reversible or irreversible?
The decomposition of calcium carbonate in an open container is irreversible, because one of the decomposition products, carbon dioxide, is a gas, and since the container is open, this gas will mix with the natural atmosphere and never develop sufficient local partial pressure to reverse the reaction.
Summarize the carbon cycle starting and ending with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.?
The carbon cycle is a process where carbon is removed and returned to the atmosphere. The ways of returning carbon to the atmosphere are- 1. Respiration 2. Decomposition 3. Combustion Ways of removing carbon- Photosynthesis. The CO2 in the air is taken in by green plants for photosynthesis. The green plants die eventually and is decomposed; decomposition return carbon to the atmosphere. Animals respire and return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Decomposers respire as well. Green plants can be used to make fuels, which combust to return carbon dioxide to the air.
Will alcohol affect the rate of decomposition of a lemon?
No, but it will affect the decomposition of the human brain.
How does carbon return to the earth's atmosphere from the soil?
Decomposition.
How does light affect the decomposition process?
Fyfe
Water carbon and nitrogen are released back into the atmosphere during?
decomposition
How does presence of light affect the rate of decomposition?
light will produces heat which will speed up the rate of decomposition.
Does decomposition increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
probaly yes, because when something is in decomposition state it realeses gas called carbon dioxide
What is added to the atmosphere during bacterial decomposition of organic matter?
bacteria or fungi
How does the atmosphere affect the sun?
The atmosphere does not affect the sun. If anything the sun affects the atmosphere.
How does the sun affect the atmosphere?
The atmosphere does not affect the sun. If anything the sun affects the atmosphere.
How does carbon dioxide go back to the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide goes back to the atmosphere through respiration, the decomposition of plants and animals, and combustion.
What happens to nitrogen during decomposition?
It is returned to the atmosphere as a gas.
Modern farming practices speed up the decomposition of matter in soil how might this affect the nitrogen cycle?
how might a modern farming speeding up the decomposition of matter in soil affect the nitrogen cycle
