What is the amount of carbon dioxide an adult tree consumes in a day?

Plants take in carbon either by leafing out or by growing. In the fall, as they become dormant, leaves which drop off rot and release carbon dioxide. The amount of carbon taken over the course of a year is essentially represented by the thickness of one alternating light/dark band. You could divide this mass of carbon by 365 to get the average per day. It does not work out to a lot.
Also note however much carbon the tree accumulates, it breaks apart nearly 3.6 times as much CO2. This is because the oxygen it takes in is released.
The amount varies as the tree ages. Small trees do not take in as much. Large trees are able to take in much more. A typical tree might weigh 3 tons by the time it is 40 years old, of which perhaps 50% is carbon. So 1.5 tons of sequestered carbon comes from 5.5 tons of CO2. Divide that by 40 and you average 275 pounds per year, or roughly 3/4 of a pound of CO2 per day.

How trees save your environment?
The environmental benefits of trees are broad. Trees are anti-pollutants, carbon-sinks, air conditioners and balancing weights to the ecosystem. These benefits can be grouped into four.Atmospheric cleansing by absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) and releasing oxygen through photosynthesis.Storing carbon and keeping it out of the atmosphere. Half the weight of an adult tree is carbon.Water cycling - , trees maintain rainfall when their roots absorb water from the soil and is released it into the atmosphere.Prevent erosion and maintain the ecosystem.
Whoes responsibility is it to regulate the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere?
It is the responsibility of everyone. In fact, every country in the world has already agreed, at the Montreal Protocol Treaty in 1973, to stop making CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). This means that the ozone layer is actually repairing itself and should be intact again by 2050, and CFCs are no longer contributing to global warming.
Which of the following groups absorbs the least amount of calcium?
Adult men

40% of an adult's guideline daily amount
What is the volume of the total amount of exchangeable air for a healthy young adult male?
4800ml
Fetal hemoglobin or hemoglobin F does not bind oxygen as well as adult hemoglobin hemoglobin A?
FalseAdult hemoglobin has less affinity for oxygen than fetal hemogloblin. That is why, as an adult female's blood passes BY the placenta, the oxygen diffusses into the fetal blood. Likewise, adult blood, having explelled the carbon dioxide during exhalation, has less concentration of carbon-dioxide than the fetal blood, so it diffuses out of fetal blood into the adult blood. That way, the fetus doesn't need respiration as an oxygen source, nor as a way to rid of waste and carbon dioxide.
How can you cheat in word challenge?
because the average adult consumes alot of alcohol
What consumes a wildebeest?
Hunters, lions, leopards, crocodiles, hyenas, and adult jaguars etc.
In the adult body food energy not stored as fat or glycogen is lost as?
Im trying to find the answer to this too! Are you taking a nutrition class as well? LOL.
What contains food in the plant embryo?
A plant embryo needs only good soil, sunlight, and carbon dioxide (CO2) to grow into an adult plant.
Is a mayfly a consumer or a producer?
Both, but it depends on what stage it is in. As a nymph it consumes algae and diatoms. As a last stage adult, it consumes nothing--the mouth is vestigial and digestive system is inflated with air.
How much does an elephant consume?
An adult consumes somewhere between 300 and 600 lbs of food per day.

About 8 hours
What is the healthy amount of phosphorus a 14-year-old should take each day?
An adult in an industrialised country typically consumes about 1-3 grams of phosphorus a day, although they likely do not need that much. You should not need to supplement phosphorous for a child, as it should be provided through their regular food intake.
