What are three ways oxygen gas is removed from the atmosphere and use?
Animals respire. Plants respire. Fire uses oxygen. Rusting uses oxygen. Oxygen is removed from the atmosphere by 1. respiration 2. combustion and 3. gradual oxidation process at normal temperature and pressure. It is added to the atmosphere by photosynthesis of green plants.
Which organism gets its carbon from carbon dioxide?
Green plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and using energy from the sun separate the carbon from the oxygen. They release the oxygen to the atmosphere, and use the carbon.
What is the chemical substance found in the atmosphere?
The oxygen so characteristic of our atmosphere was almost all produced by plants (cyanobacteria or, more colloquially, blue-green algae). Thus, the present composition of the atmosphere is 79% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, and 1% other gases.
What is the source of the earths oxygen?
Green plant life. Carbon dioxide in absorbed by green plant leaf. It undergoes photosynthesis in the plant; the oxygen is released back into the atmosphere and the carbon is retained in the plant as biomass. It is part of the Carbon / Oxygen cycle.
Does grass give off oxygen?
YES!!! All GREEN Plant material gives off oxygen. Carbon dioxide is a heavy gas, and fall to the ground. Whereupon it is absorbed by green plant life. Then in the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide in broken down (decomposed) into oxygen and the carbon component remains in the plant as biomass. The oxygen is released back into the atmosphere, for animals to breath. It is part of the 'carbon' and 'oxygen' bio-chremical cycles on Earth. Photosynthesis, does not occur at night, when there is no UV light from the Sun.
How are the two types of mesophyll found in a leaf specialized for photosynthesis?
The two types of photosynthetic mesophyll are -- (i) Palisade cells which are vertically elongated cylindrical cells and (ii) Spongy mesophyll cells that are spherical green cells.
Where is chlorophyll located is plants?
They are located in the thylakoids, which are in chloroplasts in the mesophyll cells of a leaf. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chlorophyll is green therefore it is located in the green parts of a plant.
Leaves are green because?
The pigment chlorophyll present in the chloroplasts of its mesophyll cells reflect the green spectrum of the light, hence, a green leaf looks green.
How did the oxygen in your atmosphere get there?
The way the oxygen got into our atmosphere is when the green plants do photosynthesis. Green plants take in carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water to make glucose and of course oxygen. After a while, the plants did enough photosynthesis that the earth got an atmosphere .
Where are chloroplasts located in green plants?
Chloroplasts are concentrated in the cell of the mesophyll. So mesophyll is your answer.
What type of cells does photosynthesis take place in?
Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which have chlorophyll in them. Chlorophyll absorbs the sunlight. From sunlight, green plants combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and oxygen.
What is the green gooey stuff inside a leaf called?
This green gooey stuff is called chloroplasts. These are present in the leaf mesophyll, specially in the palisade cells.
What were blue green algae responsible for making?
The oxygen in the atmosphere.
What is the major source of free oxygen in atmosphere?
Green Plants
What is the green tissue in the interior of the leaf?
mesophyll
What is the green tissue in the interior of a leaf?
mesophyll
Why is the mesophyll an ideal site of photosynthesis in the leaf?
They are the main cells used in photosynthesis for most plants.
