What is the source of carbon dioxide for water plants?

Carbon dioxide in the oceans primarily comes from the atmosphere. Some of the carbon dioxide from the air dissolves into the ocean water. However, smaller amounts can come from respiration of sea animals and other miscellaneous sources. The atmosphere is by far the largest source of carbon dioxide in ocean water, though.


What is the source of the most of the carbon?

The most important source of carbon entering atmosphere is industries. Living things, burning fossil fuels and automobiles are other sources of carbon dioxide.


What is the electron source that helps reduce carbon dioxide to sugars and other organic molecules?

The electron source for reducing carbon dioxide to sugars and other organic molecules during photosynthesis is water. Water is split into oxygen and hydrogen ions, and the electrons from water are used to reduce carbon dioxide to form carbohydrates.


What is the carbon source used in photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide. In the light-independant reaction of photosynthesis (Calvin cycle) the enzyme RuBisCo catalyzes the carboxylation of RuBP with carbon dioxide, and catalyzes the primary chemcal reaction in which carbon permanently enters the biosphere.


What is the main source of carbon in the biosphere?

Atmospheric carbon dioxide is the main source of carbon. Green plants store this carbon during the process of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide supplies the carbon needed for all the organic matter.


What energy source would produce the most carbon dioxide?

Burning coal produces the most carbon dioxide compared to other energy sources due to its high carbon content. When coal is burned, it releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.


Why do plants and animals depend on each other so much?

plants provide food and plants provide carbon dioxide


What is the most important source of carbon entering atmosphere?

The most important source of carbon entering atmosphere is industries. Living things, burning fossil fuels and automobiles are other sources of carbon dioxide.


Where do plant get the carbon dioxide they need to live?

Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air through tiny pores on their leaves called stomata. This carbon dioxide is then used in photosynthesis to produce sugars and other organic compounds, which the plant uses as a source of energy for growth and development.


How do animals depend upon plants?

Animals depend upon plants to produce oxygen (photosynthesis), to absorb carbon dioxide (plant respiration), and as a food source. Even animals that eat other animals (carnivores) depend on plants as a food source, as that is likely what their prey eat to survive.


What increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acting as a carbon source?

Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Respiration and other aspects of the carbon cycle do not increase the amount as a similar volume is being removed at the same time.


What type of gas does fire release?

Fire releases carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other gases such as carbon monoxide, depending on what is being burned. The composition of gases released by a fire can vary based on the fuel source and conditions of combustion.
