Is carbon dioxide essential for life?
Yes. Carbon dioxide in the greenhouse effect keeps the Earth warm enough for life. Carbon dioxide is also a vital part of the carbon cycle, important for the growth of all vegetation, as well as human and animal breathing.
What percent of organisms on earth are considered carbon-based?
All life on Earth is carbon based this is because carbon bonds with other elements, especially oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen. It is often assumed in astrobiology that if life exists somewhere else in in the universe, it will also be carbon-based. ---- 100%
Can you think of other substances essential to life that contain nonmetals?
Carbon, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Hydrogen, and Oxygen
What element is most closely associated with all life on earth?
Carbon.
Why do you need hydrogen?
Without hydrogen, water (dihydrogen monoxide, or H2O) would not exist, and all life on Earth would die.
How does carbon affect life on earth?
Carbon is essential to life. Life could not exist without it
What nonmetals in the atmosphere and their combinations are essential to life on earth?
Oxygen, nitrogen, and yes, even carbon dioxide are essential to life on Earth (plants require carbon dioxide, in order to perform photosynthesis).
What was life like before carbon monoxide?
Life did not exist before carbon monoxide. It is a gas that can be naturally formed and has existed for as long as the planet has.
What plastic can give off carbon monoxide when burned?
All plastics give of carbon monoxide when burned, the amount of carbon monoxide depends on what type of plastic is being burned, so don't burn plastic cause too much carbon monoxide is bad for all life on earth and the ozone! :)
What element from group 4a is both essential and harmful to life?
This is more than likely carbon, which is the building block of life. This is also the element of organic chemistry. It can be harmful in some of its compounds, see CO (carbon monoxide) for example.
Is a natural product of animal and human life?
carbon monoxide
What is the life threatening PPM for Carbon monoxide?
1200 ppm
How did evangelina get into a coma on One life to Live?
Carbon Monoxide poisoning
How do you create air without your mouth?
Well, there are several ways of manufacturing air. Since air is just a mixture of gases, in the case of Earth, that most life breathes, one only has to create a similar mixture. (Earth's air is made [mostly] of Nitrogen, Carbon dioxide, Dioxygen, Trioxygen, Carbon monoxide, and Dihydrogen monoxide.)
If carbon monoxide combines readily with the hemoglobin of the blood 250 times more readily than oxygen does why can it not support life?
because carbon monoxide is poisonous and it affects our health.
What nonmetals in the atmosphere and their combinations are essential to life and earth?
maybe the earth essential
The effects that carbon monoxide has on the body when smoked?
What effect does carbon monoxide have on the body when smoked? - Firstly carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless colorless gas that is not combustible and therefore cannot be smoked. - Carbon Monoxide is a byproduct of combustion, and is a component of smoke, it is also prevalent in automobile and electric generator exhaust. - By Mayo Clinic staff Carbon monoxide poisoning is an illness caused by exposure to too much carbon monoxide --- a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. Too much carbon monoxide in the air you breathe can greatly diminish your ability to absorb oxygen, leading to serious tissue damage. Carbon monoxide poisoning can lead to death. Carbon monoxide is produced by appliances and other devices that generate combustion fumes, such as those that burn gas or other petroleum products, wood and other fuels. The danger occurs when too much carbon monoxide accumulates in a contained, poorly ventilated space. Although the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning can be subtle, the condition is a life-threatening medical emergency. Get immediate care for anyone who may have carbon monoxide poisoning
