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.
Which living things carry out the process of respiration?
all living organisms respire during respiration they take in oxygen and give out carbon-dioxide during respiration the food present in the body is broken down with the help of oxygen to release energy
What is the cost of carbon in diamond form?
Its tricky, carbon in Diamond form means "Diamond",it could cost from a couple of Dollars a carat (Industrial) to say 2000 Dollars a carat(Gem quality) or more.........
Are baboons carnivores?
Baboons are omnivores, so you could say yes they do it eat meat; but they also eat plants and fruits.
Does water mixed with sugar really help plants grow?
The short answer is yes, sugar does help plants grow. However, excessive amounts of sucrose can be harmful to a plant. For plants growing hydroponically or in a selective medium such as in a petri dish, sucrose is often used as a carbon source for sprouting plants. Plants make sugars through photosynthesis by combining water and carbon dioxide. Plants use carbon dioxide as their main carbon source so they do not need sugar in their substrate to grow. But young plants and tissue plant clones that aren't yet efficiently producing sugars through photosynthesis can benefit from the extra carbon stored in sucrose. Sugar water used in a plant's natural environment can also attract other organisms and bacteria. Although some may be symbiotic (help the plant), many can interfere with the plant's growth or even cause it to die. Note this question is similar to one frequently asked about growing plants using carbonated soda drinks.
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 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 plants are a sink for oxygen?
they produce oxygen
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).
What is called as 'earth's lungs'?
I would say plants. They 'breathe' in carbon dioxide and excrete oyxgen and sugars.
Why could you say that the carbon dioxide and oxygen cycle is balance?
because you take in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide
Why could you say that the oxygen carbon dioxide cycle is balance?
because you take in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide
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).
In what way do bees help humans?
Bees aid pollination of plants which of some we consume as food, so you could say that bees help 'plant' our food. Bees further reproduction of plants and are the main agents of pollination. However, to learn more about the ways plants can reproduce, go to Youtube.com and type in David Attenborough The Private Life Of Plants into the box and you can learn cool stuff in those videos. bees help plants to reproduce and human give out carbon dioxide. when plants reproduce, it can transfer carbon dioxide for oxygen therefore humans take in oxygen and humans can live.
How do you say sink a ship in French?
to sink a ship is 'couler un bateau' in French.
