How does carbon dioxide go back in the atmosphere?
Cellular respiration by producers and consumers returns carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.-Cellular respiration-Volcanic eruptions-Human interference (burning of fossil fuels)
Is carbon dioxide important for plants how?
Yes - most plants absorb carbon dioxide and convert it to plant material via photosynthesis.
What are the two important gases that go in and out of the leaves?
In the process of photosynthesis, leaves take in carbon dioxide, converting the carbon in it to plant material, and release oxygen
Why does the carbon dioxide released by burning biomass not result in global warming?
Biomass (burning of plant material) does release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, but it is CO2 that was recently taken out of the atmosphere (when the plants were growing) so it doesn't add extra CO2 or cause global warming. Burning biomass then is part of the natural carbon cycle which moves CO2 in and out of the atmosphere.The carbon dioxide that comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) was taken out of the atmosphere millions of years ago, so releasing it now is adding extra CO2 (and causing global warming).This is why biomass is renewable energy and much better than fossil fuels.
Does biofuel contribute to global warming?
No, biomass burns grown vegetation to produce energy. Because the vegetation grew recently, it means it took carbon out of the atmosphere recently. Burning it puts the same carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. This makes it carbon neutral.
How is carbon returned back to the atmosphere?
Removed from the air by plants, When they die, CO2 is released from the plant structure as it rots (or is burned) and returns to the air.Cellular respiration by producers and consumers returns carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.-Cellular respiration-Volcanic eruptions-Human interference (burning of fossil fuels)
Where do primery consumers get their carbon from?
From plant material
What adds less carbon dioxide to the atmosphere than burning fossil fuels?
Burning any fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide. Burning bio-fuels is more or less carbon neutral since the carbon dioxide used to grow the plant material is taken from the atmosphere, which goes back to the atmosphere after the fuel is burned. It is essentially biologically stored solar energy. The cleanest energy sources are solar, wind, tidal, hydro-electric, and nuclear.
What are two sources of carbon dioxide?
burning from cars and plant also cement processing and decomposing material vegetation at night
What gas plant do produce that animal use?
carbon dioxide that plant use

How do energy and matter work in the carbon cycle?
One important carbon cycle occurs as carbon dioxide is captured by plants and, during photosynthesis, the Sun's energy is used to dissociate the carbon and oxygen from the CO2. The carbon is used by the plant to build tissues while the oxygen is emitted into the air. At a later time the plant is burned, maybe as fuel or in a forest fire. The burning press reunites the carbon and oxygen, producing carbon dioxide, and the original energy is released as heat. Some plant material may be left in the ground for millions of years until it becomes coal, oil or gas. In this case, digging it up and burning it produces new carbon dioxide that the short-term carbon cycles can not absorb. This causes a buildup of CO2 in the atmosphere.
What is the material that enter the plant through its leaves?
carbon dioxide enters the plant through it's leaves. glad to help :)
How does ethanol reduce global warming?
Ethanol from plant material is a biofuel. Burning biomass or biofuel does not contribute to global warming. When the plant was growing it removed carbon dioxide from the air. When the ethanol is burnt, that same carbon dioxide is returned to the air. This is part of the natural carbon cycle.The carbon dioxide that comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) was taken out of the atmosphere millions of years ago, so releasing it now is adding extra CO2 (and causing global warming).This is why ethanol is counted as renewable energy and better than fossil fuels.
Is carbon dioxide important for plants how?
Yes - most plants absorb carbon dioxide and convert it to plant material via photosynthesis.
Would a large plant and a burning candle placed under a bell jar will the candle burn the plant because of the plant is giving off carbon dioxide?
The candle will burn BUT it is because the plant is giving off OXYGEN and is TAKING IN carbon dioxide.
Which of these conservation tactics is the best way to reduce the pollution produced by a coal-burning power plant?
Install scrubbers in the power plant.
