How does the process of photosynthesis affect carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere during a typical year?
Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide as a raw material where carbon dioxide is fixed into organic molecules. This process lowers the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The seasonal fluctuation of carbon dioxide levels during a year may be caused by increased photosynthesis during spring and summer.
What is the carbon cycle?
The carbon cycle is a process by which carbon is cycled between the atmosphere, land, water and organisms. Carbon enters a short-term cycle in an ecosystem when producers, such as plants, convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis.The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth
State the function of the structures called stomata that are present in leaf epidermis?
The leaf surface has many tiny apertures called stomata. During respiration oxygen from the atmosphere diffuses into the stomata and then into the cells of the leaf. When carbon dioxide concentration in the cells increases, the stomata opens and releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
When a carbon atom enters the atmosphere it turns into what?
it should still be carbon, but too much carbon is bad for the atmosphere. Google: "Carbon in atmoshpere" and see why it's bad
Where do plants get the carbon they use to make organic molecules?
carbon fixed in photosynthesis
What are two ways in which carbon is returned to the atmosphere?
Two ways in which carbon is returned to the atmosphere are:During volcanic eruptionsBy oxidation of organic matter
What is it called when carbon dioxide is returned to the atmosphere?
* combustion * respiration * oxidization * Retrixilization (rare)
How is carbon in fossil fuels eventually returned to the atmosphere?
The CO and CO2 comes from burning fossil fuels, and is released into the atmosphere in the smoke.
How is carbon dioxide returned the atmosphere?
Cellular respiration by producers and consumers returns carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.-Cellular respiration-Volcanic eruptions-Human interference (burning of fossil fuels)
How is carbon dioxide returned to the. atmosphere?
Cellular respiration by producers and consumers returns carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.-Cellular respiration-Volcanic eruptions-Human interference (burning of fossil fuels)
When carbon is released to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide when you breathe during the process of?
photosynthesis
What gas does a plant take from the atmosphere during the carbon cycle?

Which gas is removed from the atmosphere during photosynthesis?
carbon dioxideCarbon Dioxide
Where are carbon dioxide and water excreted during exhalation?
In the atmosphere .
