Where is most of the carbon on earth stored?
carbon is most abundant in all earths bodies of water (approx 36,000 gigatonnes) compared with the biosphere (1,900 gigatonnes), hydrocarbons (1050 gigatonnes) and the atmosphere (810 gigatonnes), plus other smaller sources but generally water contains the most carbon.
When oxygen started building up in the atmosphere did all organisms began to thrive?
Yes
How high can polution rise in the atmosphere?
To the point of being unbreathable to almost all organisms. Including us.
During what process do plants and other organisms take in carbon dioxide?
Green plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and give out oxygen. While respiration, all living organisms take in oxygen and carbon dioxide and then give out carbon dioxide.
What is the role played by Carbon?
The thing about carbon is that it can form all kinds of carbon-carbon chains; this allows lots of interesting compounds, especially proteins, and a solution of proteins in water is fundamental to all life (as we know it).
Which is the fundamental element found in all living organisms?
carbon is the present in all organism.
Plants obtain the carbon used in the manufacture of organic compounds from?
Photosynthesis require carbon dioxide, although carbon is naturally needed by all organisms.
Why carbon dioxide gas is not present in lower layer of atmosphere?
it is present in all layers. What gave you the idea it wasn't?
Do sunflowers have the chemicals of life?
Sunflowers contain carbon, which is present in all living organisms.
What are the steps in carbon cycle?
The four basic steps of the carbon cycle are the earth, the air, the oceans, and all the organisms that are living. Also called the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and the biosphere.
Why can carbon be found in all living organisms?
Carbon has a unique chemistry that enables the formation of many many complex molecules. This chemistry is the basis of life as we know it and therefore carbon is present in all living things.
What are the organisms involved in carbon cycle?
All organisms are involved in the carbon cycle.
Are most organisms said to be carbon based?
All organisms on Earth are carbon based.
Where is carbon resource found?
Carbon is found in various forms on Earth. It can be found in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas. It is also present in the Earth's crust as carbonates and minerals. Carbon is a crucial element in living organisms and is found in all organic compounds such as plants, animals, and fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.
The atom present in all organic compounds is?
Carbon is present in all organic compounds.
What does carbon have to do with the atmosphere?
Carbon is one element in CO2. CO2 is a greenhouse gas contributor that is produced by man. Almost 6% of all CO2 is man made. The remaining 94% is natural. Carbon dioxide makes up roughly 5% of all greenhouse gases present, but it is building up in the atmosphere causing global warming.
What are the helpful gases?
Oxygen, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, and Carbon. All are needed to help an ecosystem and environment flourish. Oxygen is used by humans and animals to breath, Nitrogen is used by plants as a byproduct of human and animal feces, Hydrogen is present along with Oxygen and Nitrogen in the atmosphere and is a component of the gas we breath, lastly Carbon. Carbon is found in all living organisms (organic) and is used by plants to create food during photosynthesis.
