Why is emc2 so important?
E=mc2. If a system contains an amount of energy and mass, then you can convert one to the other. But there is only so much matter in the universe and only so much energy and these are exchangable but cannot be overall lost or gained.
How does the ocean act like a sink for carbon dioxide?
Atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolves in the water close to the surface of the ocean. As the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, therefore, so does the concentration of carbon dioxide in these surface waters. Most of the absorbed carbon is accommodated by chemical reactions between the water and carbon dioxide . But this 'buffering' capacity has limits and - if this water remains at the surface - it eventually becomes saturated with carbon dioxide. Surface water and deep water, however, are slowly but constantly overturning in a cycle of about 1000 years. As the surface waters move downwards - a process that occurs mainly in the North Atlantic and Southern oceans - it carries dissolved carbon dioxide down with it. As a result, about 75 per cent of the carbon that has been absorbed by the ocean since human activities began releasing carbon dioxide now resides in deeper waters. Overall, therefore, this process has recently been working as an important sink for carbon produced by human activity. Such downward transport, however, is relatively slow, and so it is ocean circulation - and not dissolution of carbon dioxide in surface waters - that limits carbon dioxide uptake by the oceans. Furthermore, models of the movement of oceanic water masses predict that in a warmer climate the sinking of surface water, and hence burial of carbon dioxide, will slow down, reducing the future role of the ocean as a carbon sink. Another way that the oceans absorb carbon is through the action of microscopic marine plants. When these organisms die, their bodies sink into deeper water. Although most of the carbon in the organisms decomposes to carbon dioxide before reaching the ocean floor, it is prevented from escaping back to the atmosphere (at least, until the oceans turn over). This biological uptake of carbon will probably increase in future, as changes in sea surface temperatures and chemistry lead to an increase in the growth of algae. But it will not be enough, however, to compensate for the reduced downward transport of water and dissolved carbon, and hence is unlikely prevent the overall ocean sink diminishing in the future. Inedeed sinks will probably never lead to a decrease in atmospheric carbon dioxide whilst carbon dioxide emissions continue at their current level.

What word is used to describe a horse's overall physical proportion's Personality Gait Temperament or confirmation?
Conformation is the term used to describe a horse's overall physical proportion and shape.
What term refers to similarity of structure in the overall design of organisms?
Homology
What did Kirchner sacrifice to create an overall sense of tension in his paintings?
optical reason
What is the overall process in which sunlight is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and high-energy sugars?
photosynthesis
What is the overall process in which sunlight is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and high energy sugars?
photosynthesis
Is the overall process in which sunlight is used to convert carbon dioxide and water in to oxygen and high energy sugars?
photosynthesis
What is The overall process in which sunlight is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and high-energy sugars.?
photosynthesis
Why do plants undergo photosynthesis?
Plants undergo photosynthesis to convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into energy in the form of glucose, which they use for growth, reproduction, and overall survival.
Does sunlight exposure effect plant growth?
Yes, sunlight exposure is essential for plant growth as it is necessary for photosynthesis, the process by which plants make their food. Sunlight provides the energy needed for plants to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars. Lack of sunlight can result in stunted growth, yellowing of leaves, and overall poor plant health.
List the ingredients and products of photosynthesis?
The overall reactants (ingredients) are carbon dioxide and water. The overall products are glucose and oxygen.
Why are plant leaves green and how does this color contribute to their overall function?
Plant leaves are green because of a pigment called chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and uses it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, which is the plant's food source. The green color of chlorophyll allows leaves to efficiently capture sunlight for photosynthesis, making it a crucial factor in the overall function of plants.
What are the reactants in chemical reaction is taking place in a green plant in sunlight?
The reactants for the overall equation for photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.
List the reactants and products of photosynthesis?
i have no clue, i was kinda wondering the same thing ! someone please answer......
What organism is the main producer of oxygen on earth?
The main producer of oxygen on Earth is phytoplankton, particularly in the oceans. These microscopic organisms use photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and sunlight into oxygen. Phytoplankton are critical to the planet's oxygen balance and overall health of aquatic ecosystems.
What is the overall cellular respiration equation in words?
Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (energy). The overall equation for cellular respiration is: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + ATP.
