Water carbon and nitrogen are released back into the atmosphere during?
decomposition
What matter is converted into animal and microbial tissue during decomposition?
Organic matter is converted into animal and microbial tissue during decomposition. This matter can be then used to fertilize the soil.
What happens to nitrogen during decomposition?
It is returned to the atmosphere as a gas.
What do decomposers make that plants use?
That would most likely be nitrogen, which is created during the decomposition of organic items.
Why does decomposition produce carbon dioxide?
Decomposition is the process of breaking down organic substances. It is very important to note the word "Organic". Plants and animals are made up of around 18% carbon, therefore during their decomposing process, they release the carbon stored in them.
What is CO2 example?
carbon dioxide: a heavy odorless colorless gas formed during respiration and by the decomposition of organic substances
What is carboun dioxide?
a heavy odorless colorless gas formed during respiration and by the decomposition of organic substances; absorbed from the air by plants in photosynthesis
What is happening to energy during decomposition?
Decomposition: is the process by which organic material is broken down into simpler forms of matter. Therefore the energy in both is lessening/wearing away. The energy is less then it would be if it was up and running.
What happen to a large portion of the carbon when organic matter decompose?
When organic matter decomposes, a significant portion of the carbon is released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2) through the process of respiration by decomposer organisms. Some of this carbon can also be converted into other forms such as methane (CH4) during anaerobic decomposition. However, a small proportion of carbon can be retained in the decomposing material as organic matter in the form of humus or stored in the soil.
Is energy absorbed or released during a decomposition reaction?
Energy is released during a decomposition reaction.
How can you overcome the problem of decomposition of certain organic liquid during distillation process?
you can over come the problem of decomposition of certain organic liquid by rarefaction atmospheric pressure that the boiling point of liquid become less than of its previous that prevent decompose it before its boiling.
When an animal exhales it releases carbon into the atmosphere What is another way in which an animal is part of the carbon cycle?
When an animal dies, bacteria release carbon in the body during the process of decomposition.
