What is the chemical that blocks most of the ultraviolet light from reaching earth?
Ozone (o3)
If the amount of oxygen reaching the log is reduced what happens to the rate of this chemical reaction?
the rate decreases
Where do the remaining colors of light go after reaching the trees from the sun?
A tree's leaves reflect green light (which is why they appear green to us) and absorb the rest, this is the energy they use for photosynthesis.
What are benefits of photosynthesis to human beings in reference to examples?
One benefit of photosynthesis to human beings is the production of oxygen. Through photosynthesis, plants release oxygen into the atmosphere, which is essential for human respiration. Additionally, photosynthesis results in the production of food, such as fruits, vegetables, and grains, which are important for human nutrition. Finally, photosynthesis also helps in regulating the Earth's climate by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in plant biomass, reducing the greenhouse effect.
What makes ice a chemical change?
Water changing into ice does not have a chemical reason, as it is not a chemical reaction but a physical change. It changes its state of matter once reaching the freezing point of 0 degrees Celsius, and freezes.
Most of the solar energy reaching planet Earth and its atmosphere is absorbed by what?
earths surface
The solar radiation least absorbed by the layers of the atmosphere before reaching Earth is?
visible light
What happens when radiation reaches earth's surface?
90% of radiation reaching the surface of the earth is absorbed! and 10% is reflected into space.
What is the chemical that blocks most of the ultraviolet light from reaching earth?
Ozone (o3)
If the amount of oxygen reaching the log is reduced what happens to the rate of this chemical reaction?
the rate decreases
What part of the solar energy reaching the earth is absorbrd by plants and trapped by chlorophyll?
They are the blue and red frequencies of visible light. Green is not absorbed much
What percent of radiation is lost before reaching Earth suface?
25% is absorbed by clouds.25% is reflected by clouds.So 50% of the sun's radiation is lost before it reaches earth's surface.See the diagram link below.
What happens to the neurotransmitter once it is released?
Neurotransmitter diffuses across the synaptic cleft to bind to the receptor on the muscle or next nerve.It is then broken down and absorbed back into the nerve.NovaNET answer: quickly destroyed..........Good Luck :)
The major portion of which form of solar radiation is absorbed as it passes through the atmosphere with only a tiny fraction of the original amount reaching the surface of the earth?
ground radiation
What gives the gray color to the cell body areas?
The amount of light passing through that's reaching your eye or the amount of electrons being absorbed. Depends on the microscope.
What percent of radiation is lost after reaching earth. Surface?
25% is absorbed by clouds and atmosphere.25% is reflected by clouds.45% is absorbed by the earth's surface.5% is reflected by ice and snow on the earth's surface.So 5% is "lost", that is, reflected back into space.See the diagram link below.
What factors can limit photosynthesis by being either too high or too low?
Photosynthesis can be limited by light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature. Temperature must be at an optimum level in order to achieve the best results, while increasing light and carbon dioxide levels both increase the rate of photosynthesis until reaching a plateau. At very high levels, light will damage chlorophyll and reduce the rate of photosynthesis.
