Best Answer

Plants cannot make protein from pure carbohydrate, because proteins contain nitrogen and sometimes sulphur. They get the nitrogen which they need from the nitrates in the soil. They get the sulphur from sulphates in the soil.

What effect does sulfur dioxide have on plants?

Sulphur dioxide is very harmful to plants and it can kill them. Sulphur Dioxide is the main gas produced by the burning of coal and it is cleared into the atmosphere. Moreover Sulphur Dioxide can react with water vapour in the atmosphere and produce a dangerous acid called sulphuric acid which is the acid in acid rain. Sulphuric acid can break plants (and animals) down, therefore the plants die. i love does nuts


Is sulfur trioxide a primary or secondary pollutant?

Coal and oli contain sulphur. When either one burns, it produces sulphur dioxide. The sulphur dioxide gradually turns into sulphur trioxide which mixes with rain and becomes acid rain. It is easy to remove the sulphur in refineries or power plants.


Can you extract sulphur from plants?

Hermen Frasch in 1894 devised a brilliant technique of obtaining sulphur from these deposits. His technique was practical, simple and cost effective. In this process, now called the Frasch process, a system of three concentric pipes is sunk into the earth to reach the sulphur beds (about 300m deep).

Why is acid rain acidic?

All plants and animals must have sulphur. Coal and oil are made from old plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. They contain sulphur. Refineries can remove most of the sulphur from most of the oil turned into fuel oil or gasoline. Refineries, factories and power plants can remove the sulphur dioxide from their smokestacks. Frequently they do not. When they do not, the sulphur dioxide turns into sulphur trioxide. The Sulphur trioxide then when the sulphur trioxide runs into a cloud or a drop of water, it turns into sulphuric acid. When it falls to earth, it falls as acid rain. Acid rain is sulphuric acid falling to earth. In North Florida the rain accompanying the first cold front of the fall changed the pH of a swimming pool from 8 to 4. That indicates the amount of acid in the air over the Midwest and Midsouth of the United States. Right now technology exists to rid smokestacks of sulphuric acid.
