How do you produce oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from a biosphere on Mars?
Mars' atmosphere contains mainly carbon dioxide, which means that in order for the oxygen/carbon dioxide cycle to occur, Mars has to go through the same procedures that Earth went through. A simple organism must be formed that can undergo photosynthesis, converting carbon dioxide into oxygen. Once it has enough oxygen, a new organism will probably form that are able to breathe oxygen. The key point is to have many photosynthetic organisms in order to convert enough carbon dioxide into oxygen.
Why is the carbon dioxide and oxygen cycle important?
Carbon dioxide is important in the atmosphere as it is one of the greenhouse gases that has been helping to keep the earth warm for millions of years. Not too much, not too little, but just the right amount. Unfortunately we are now adding too much carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, causing global warming and climate change.
What is the reactant and product in cellular respiration?
In the equation for cellular respiration the reactants, which go into the equation, are glucose and oxygen. The products, that come out of the equation, are carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP.
Why does a plant need carbon-dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is one of the ingredients that plants need, along with water, to make sugar: 6CO2 + 6H20 --------> C6H1206 + 602 Carbon Dioxide + Water -------> Sugar and oxygen Plants need carbon dioxide to make sugar just like you need flour to make a cake.
How does cutting down forests affect the carbon cycle?
It affects the carbon cycle because when photosynthesis happens plant take in Carbon Dioxide and release oxygen. When the trees in the forest are cut down photosynthesis is reduced. Meaning, carbon dioxide will remain in the air that we breathe.
At the peak of the inspiratory phase the alveoli contain how much of oxygen and carbon dioxide?
More oxygen than carbon dioxide.
How much carbon dioxide is formed when 24.0g of carbon is reacted with 100.0g of oxygen?
24.0 g of carbon reacts with 64.0 g of oxygen to form 88 g of carbon dioxide.
Do plants give out carbon dioxide and take in oxygen or do plants give out oxygen and take in carbon dioxide?
Plants give out oxygen (from the breakdown of water) and take in carbon dioxide, which they use to form carbohydrates in the process of photosynthesis.However, at night and in darker conditions, plants still need energy, and use cellular respiration as animals do, taking in some oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. This is normally much less chemical activity than photosynthesis, so green plants release much more oxygen than they use.
How much more carbon dioxide is there than oxygen?
There is approximately 2,500 times more carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Earth's atmosphere than oxygen (O2). The concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere is around 20.95%, while carbon dioxide makes up about 0.04%.
How much carbon dioxide is made from oxygen and carbon during a fire?
If combustion is complete (which it usually is not) you will get a carbon dioxide molecule for every carbon atom or for every oxygen molecule depending on which runs out first.
What is the ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide in the air?
The ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide in the air is approximately 21:0.04. This means that oxygen makes up about 21% of the air we breathe, while carbon dioxide is present in much lower concentrations at around 0.04%.
Do you breathe in carbin dioxide?
No, humans do not breathe in carbon dioxide. We inhale air that contains oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide as a waste product of respiration. Breathing in too much carbon dioxide can be harmful to our health.
Will the amount carbon dioxide the atmosphere soon be greater than the Amount of oxygen?
No, the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere is much greater than the amount of carbon dioxide. The current levels of carbon dioxide are approximately 0.04% of the atmosphere, while oxygen levels are around 21%.
Which processes in the carbon cycle decreases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis is the main process in the carbon cycle that decreases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and convert it into carbohydrates and oxygen. This helps to store carbon and reduce the overall concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
What would happen if you breathed in too much carbon dioxide?
Air contains oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and other compounds. We take carbon dioxide into our lungs all the time, but our lungs keep the oxygen. However, if you were in a room with ONLY carbon dioxide, you would die--not from carbon dioxide per se, but from lack of oxygen.
Do any plants produce as much carbon dioxide as humans?
No, it's the other way around. Plants intake Carbon dioxide and put out Oxygen. In the theory of how the world formed, this is how the atmosphere got to contain Oxygen, from plants spreading over the continents and producing Oxygen.
Which compound is formed when carbon burns in oxygen?
The major product of Carbon burning in Oxygen is Carbon Dioxide (CO2), but some Carbon Monoxide (CO) can be formed depending how much Oxygen is present.
