Ozone's chemical composition is O3. It is formed when ultraviolet radiation first breaks the chemical bond between O2, forming 2 free oxygen atoms. These two free atoms then each combine with an O2 molecule forming two O3 molecules.

They are NOx (combustion byproducts) and VOC (both natural and manmade sources).

A cell that can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food from inorganic compounds?
It is a Photoheterotroph.
What are colored chemical compounds that absorb sunlight?
A colored chemical compound that absorbs sunlight is a pigment. Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and bacteria.
What two bacteria produce chemicals?
All bacteria produce chemicals. Could you possibly be more specific?
What is the function of sunlight in the reaction?
Sunlight energy can produce energy-rich molecules
What positive results occur because of lightning strikes?
Lightning is known to create nitrogen oxides. These chemicals can react with others in sunlight to produce ozone which will help to rebuild and replenish our thinning ozone layer.
Why is it a chemical change when the leaves turn different colors in the fall?
As plants receive less sunlight, they change color. They are green because they have a lot of sunlight and are able to produce glucose and other energy chemicals. The less sunlight they receive, the less chemicals they produce.
Can some autotrophs obtain their energy from chemicals rather than sunlight to produce carbohydrates?
Yes, hydrogen sulfide
A cell that can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food from inorganic compounds?
It is a Photoheterotroph.
What is an autotrough?
Organism that can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce their own food from inorganic compounds. They are also called producers.
Is a producer a herbivore carnivore or an omnivore?
A producer is none of these. It uses sunlight (some use chemicals) to produce their energy needs. Most all producers are plants.
What are the products of chemo-synthesis?
Chemosynthesis is somewhat similar to photosynthesis. Certain organisms use it to produce energy, but they do not need sunlight to do it. They oxidize chemicals that seep up from the earth.
What are colored chemical compounds that absorb sunlight?
A colored chemical compound that absorbs sunlight is a pigment. Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and bacteria.
What organisms are Autotroph?
Organism, such as plants, who can produce their own food from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide. ( sometimes chemicals-called chemeotrophs )
Is a banana changing colors a chemical or physical change?
It's a chemical change. The sunlight stimulates the developing fruit to produce chemicals to help it ripen - in order to spread its seeds.
What do plants produce in the presence of sunlight?
It will produce oxygen.
What does sunlight produce?
energy
What two bacteria produce chemicals?
All bacteria produce chemicals. Could you possibly be more specific?
