What role does CO2 play in influencing climate?
Carbon dioxide, also known as CO2, is what is known as a greenhouse gas; it tends to retain heat and to make the Earth warmer.
Will life exist on earth without CO2?
CO2 is required to support all plant life. Plant life creates Oxygen, and most life forms cannot survive without Oxygen. Therefore there is a mutually dependent relationship between the 2. No CO2 leads to no O2, and all life on Earth dies. So, no.
What role does CO2 play in the life of plants and algae?
Well the process of life involves something called photosynthesis which is the exchange of oxygen for CO2. We breathe in oxygen and let out moist CO2 which plants use to grow and make their food called sugar, which is another whole cycle.
What role does man made processors play in the carbon cycle?
causing co2 levels to rise
If CO2 was not on earth what will earth be like?
If there was no Carbon Dioxide on Earth it would be very different then what it is now. Firstly plants need CO2 for photosynthesis, without CO2 plants could not complete photosynthesis and would die of starvation (photosynthesis is a plants way of making food). Secondly CO2 is a gas that keeps the Earth's temperature at the correct level, without CO2 the Earth would be much colder and therefor unable to support life.
Why is CO2 essential to all life on earth?
Well, for humans CO2 is bad for is because it gets more humid in the atmosphere, but however the plants need the CO2 to process it into oxygen. Which we need.
Do volcanic activity and burning fossils fuel play a role in the carbon cycle?
Yes, both add CO2 to our atmosphere
How can earth have life on it but the other planets do not?
Because, Earth is at a right distance from the size of our sun which where water could exist and our atmoshpehere with many gases and not just CO2. Mars could sustain life but need to reduce the level of co2 in its atmosphere to sustain fresh, liquid water.
What role does carbon dioxide play in forming limestone as a chemical precipitate?
The reaction is:Ca(OH)2 + CO2 = CaCO3 + H2O
What role do the bacteria play in the carbon cycle?
Bacteria eat dead organic matter and release trapped carbon atoms as CO2.
What do you think earth atmosphere would be like today if life had not evolved one earth?
Almost no oxygen, lots of CO2, still mostly nitrogen.
What role does the oceans play in the carbon cycle?
Oceans are able to absorb maximum amount of CO2 from air . then this absorbed CO2 is taken by plant inside Ocean. by this way oceans are helpful in carbon cycle.
