What organisms in the ocean store the most carbon?
the carbon fish which is 57% carbon
What are the 3 most abundant elements in organisms?
carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen
Where does the plant get the carbon to make plant structures?
For most terrestrial plants, nearly all the carbon comes from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. For aquatic plants, the carbon comes form carbon dioxide dissolved in the water.
Which human activity would have the most direct impact on the oxygen carbon dioxide cycle?
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide that has been stored underground for 300 million years. This extra load is disrupting the carbon cycle, which is unable to move all the extra carbon dioxide out of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
What are the 3 most common elements found in living things important to the human body?
The three most common atoms in the body would be carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. By atoms: hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon By mass: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen
What chemicals are inside fuels?
Most fuels consist of various combinations of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Most fuels are hydrocarbons. what does this mean?
hydrocarbons are carbon chains with hydrogen (and hydrogen only) bonded to them. So, most fuels are carbon chains with hydrogen bonded to them. Octane (gasoline) is C8H18
What do all fuels have in common?
The most common element in all combustible fuels is Hydrogen, this is closely followed by the presence of Carbon.
What cycle is most affected when burning of fossil fuels by cars and factories?
Carbon
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 common atom in fossil fuel?
Carbon Most common in all fossil fuels is carbon. In natural gas, both hydrogen and carbon are common.
What does most of the carbon in fossil fuels exist of?
carbon is an element, so "carbon" can't exist of anything. But the carbon found in fossil fuels are mostly from shells and dead animals or plants, after being exposed to imense heat and presure by stacking layers of sediment, plants and shells
What is carbon deposit?
A storage for carbon. Examples are fossil fuels , such as coal oil and natural gas are the most valuable carbon deposits.
What happened when fossils fuels are burned?
When fossil fuels are burned, carbon dioxide is released into the environment. This can influence the greenhouse effect and increase global warming. Coal is the fossil fuel that produces the most carbon dioxide emission.
When fossil fuels burned what happened?
When fossil fuels are burned, carbon dioxide is released into the environment. This can influence the greenhouse effect and increase global warming. Coal is the fossil fuel that produces the most carbon dioxide emission.
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.
Most of the excessive carbon dioxide that is expected to cause global warming is generated by what?
burning of fossil fuels
