Why don't marine biologists recognize that a critical component to calcium carbonate shellfish exoskeleton production is dissolved carbon dioxide gas?
The marine biologists do not recognize that a critical component to calcium carbonate shellfish exoskeleton production is dissolved carbon dioxide gas because the component has no scientific or chemical representation.
Calcium carbonate is a major component of which sedimentary rocks?
Calcium carbonate is a major component of sedimentary rocks such as limestone, chalk, and marble. These rocks form from the accumulation of marine organisms' shells, coral reefs, and precipitated calcite minerals.
What is limestone calcium carbonate or calcium sulfate?
Calcium carbonate.
What make up limestone?
mineral calcite (calcium carbonate) usually found in marine organisms.
What are marble chip made of?
CaCO3 (Calcium Carbonate)
Is cockroach is an example of exoskeleton?
yes cockroach is an exoskeleton animal and the skeleton is made up of chitin and calcium carbonate

Is the carbonate or the calcium the buffer in calcium carbonate?
The carbonate. Calcium is neutral.
What is the IUPAC name for the compound CaCO3?
Calcium Carbonate :)
Which vertebrates lack exoskeleton?
arthropods and mostly molluscas have exoskileton made up of chitin and calcium carbonate respectively
Marine organisms such as coral and shellfish have carbon in their bodies in what forms?
Calcium Carbonate <3
What hard substance is a starfishe's exoskeleton made of?
Starfish actually have ENDOskeletons, not exoskeletons. They are made up of calcium carbonate compounds called ossicles.
Calcium carbonate is a major component of which sedimentary rocks?
Calcium carbonate is a major component of sedimentary rocks such as limestone, chalk, and marble. These rocks form from the accumulation of marine organisms' shells, coral reefs, and precipitated calcite minerals.
What is limestone calcium carbonate or calcium sulfate?
Calcium carbonate.
Are calcium deposits alive?
No. Calcium deposits are not alive/ However, deposits of calcium carbonate are often made of the shells of once living, but long ded organisms.
What make up limestone?
mineral calcite (calcium carbonate) usually found in marine organisms.
What is responsible for the accumulation of limestone deposits known as stromatolites?
Sediment trapping and the growth and metabolic activities of matlike cyanobacteria colonies contribute to the creation of stromatolites. Small particles of calcium carbonate settle onto the sticky matlike colonies of cyanobacteria forming thin layers of calcium carbonate. The cyanobacteria then build up over the calcium carbonate layer (so as not to be buried and killed) producing another sticky surface where more fine particles of calcium carbonate can be trapped.
