What 2 forms of carbon are found in nature?
Diamond and Graphite are the two pure forms of carbon
Why is biomass described as carbon neutral?
h
What is the total amount of living material found in the environment?
biomass
Why does the combustion of biomass release no net carbon into the atmosphere?
Biomass is vegetable matter, like unwanted parts of sugar cane (bagasse), as well as residue from tree felling and other things. When vegetation grows, it removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. When the same material is burnt as biomass, that same CO2 is put back into the carbon cycle.
Is Photosynthesis is the main process by which carbon dioxide moves from the atmosphere to biomass?
no
When burned does biomass let off carbon emissions?
Biomass releases carbon dioxide when burned.
What three basic forms is carbon found in?
Carbon is found in everything! We wouldn't be alive if there wasn't carbon in the air!
What are the forms in which Carbon is found in the ocean?
Carbon dioxide is the main one.
What 2 forms of carbon are found in nature?
Diamond and Graphite are the two pure forms of carbon
What is the difference between fixed carbon and total carbon in coal?
fixed carbon is carbon content of the coal/biomass which is not easily decomposed or combusted at lower temperatures(>200 c), and total carbon content of coal/biomass is volatile carbon present in form of other hydrocarbons forms like volatile organic compounds, etc.. which easily combusted at little higher temperatures (>50 c)
Why is biomass good?
advantages of biomass energy is that it 1. can be found almost everywhere and 2. it is cheap
Why is biomass a better alternative than coal?
The main advantage of biomass over coal is that it is "carbon neutral". This means that in order for the biomass to be created, it consumed carbon dioxide from the environment. Upon burning biomass, no additional carbon is added to our atmosphere. Coal, on the other hand, is taking carbon out of the earth and adding more to our atmosphere.
Where can biomass be found in Australia?
biomass is found all over Australia
Is biomass easy to get?
its pretty much everywhere. anything containing carbon is biomass. dirt is biomass. poop is biomass. a tree is biomass. you are biomass. so is your dog.. so, yeah; its pretty easy to get your hands on.

What is the primary of biomass?
carbon,hydrogen&oxygen
What is the total amount of living material found in the environment?
biomass
