What else can I help you with?
Why could you say plants are a sink for carbon?
Plants take in carbon from carbon dioxide in the air and convert it to carbohydrates and keep it with them.
Why could you say that plants are a sink to carbon?
Plants take in carbon from the carbon dioxide in the air, and convert it to carbohydrates and store it.
Why could you say that plants are sink for carbon?
Plants take in carbon from carbon dioxide in the air and convert it to carbohydrates and keep it with them.
What light rays do plants absorb and which do they reflect?
Plants absorb Co2. Carbon dioxide. Which is Carbon and oxygen. The carbon is used in the plant and the oxygen is released, (or reflected as you could say).
Why could you say that plants are a carbon sink?
Plants take carbon dioxide from the air and use it to make solids such as sugars, cellulose, and other carbohydrates. This reduces the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, although not as greatly as chemical processes such as solution in sea water or the forming of carbonate minerals.
Why could you say that plants are a sink for carbon?
Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis to produce glucose and other organic compounds. This carbon is stored in the plant's tissues, acting as a sink for carbon and helping to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is a greenhouse gas contributing to climate change.
Do bees make oxygen?
They pollinate plants, and this is necessary to create new plants. The new plants create oxygen, so I would say yes. But, to be fair, they do it indirectly.
Why do you say that plants supply oxygen to the air?
Plants release oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis, which is the process they use to convert sunlight into energy. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and water and produce oxygen. This oxygen is then released into the air through tiny openings in the leaves called stomata.
What is the name of the compound made by plants and used by animals for fuel?
I'd say Oxygen.
What does 'everything but the kitchen sink' mean?
It's a slang-y way to say you had way more stuff than you needed -- you had everything you could possibly have (except your kitchen sink).
Why do you say 70 to 80 percent of the oxygen in the atmosphere comes from marine plants in the ocean and you also say 70 percent comes from rain forests?
About 70% of our oxygen is indeed produced by marine plants. The statement about the rain forests is wrong, they are now known to be essentially oxygen neutral, with little or no net oxygen production at all. That's not saying, it isn't worth saving them.
Why could you say that the carbon dioxide and oxygen cycle is balance?
because you take in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide
