What does carbon dioxide play in plant life processes?
During Photosynthesis process the plant breaks the carbon dioxjde mollecule to carbon and oxygen. the plant uses the carbon as a nutrient and releases part of the oxygen to the air.
What role does molecular evidence play in determining how closely two species are related to each other?
the role in which molecular evidence play in determining how closely two species are related to each other is through the cladogram
Which best describes the role of carbon in the body?
Used in proteins
What role do producers and consumers play in the carbon cycle?
Producers take in carbon and release oxygen as their waste which consumers breathe and then we release carbon as a waste and so on...
Which organisms play a role in returning carbon to the atmosphere?
Producers, consumers, and decomposers.
Why does carbon have a central role in the chemistry on living organisms?
99.999999999% of all life on earth is carbon based.
What role does forest fire play in its carbon cycle?
the cycle of life. the trees get carbon dioxide and make oxygen. if we didn't have carbon we be dead .
Role of personality in understanding consumer diversity?
d understanding consumer diversity
Is Carbon trioxide a gas?
Carbon trioxide gas (CO3) exists, and is an unstable oxide of carbon (an oxocarbon). Carbon trioxide can be produced, for example, in the drift zone of a negative corona discharge by reactions between carbon dioxide (CO2) and the atomic oxygen (O) created from molecular oxygen by free electrons in the plasma. The half-life of carbon trioxide is only approximately 30 minutes, before breakdown into carbon dioxide and the oxygen radical. Carbon trioxide plays an important role in atmospheric chemistry and has been detected in interstellar ices. Carbon trioxide should not be confused with the stable carbonate ion (CO32−), which is an ion in solution.
What is the role of the predators in determining niche diversity?
g
What is the role of animals in carbon cycle?
animals help the carbon cycle by the animals dying and restarting their life cycle again
Describe the life an oak tree supports?
Describe the role of an oak tree in the circulation of carbon in the biosphere
What is the role of molecular action in convection and conduction?
The role of molecular action in convection is the that molecules that are relative to one another create kinetic energy that is the end result. The role of molecular action in conduction is that molecules collide with one another to create a transfer of heat or energy.
What does carbon dioxide play in plant life processes?
During Photosynthesis process the plant breaks the carbon dioxjde mollecule to carbon and oxygen. the plant uses the carbon as a nutrient and releases part of the oxygen to the air.
What role does the atmosphere play in the natural resources needed for life?
It provides life-giving oxygen for people and animals and provides carbon dioxide for plants.
Carbon is called the basis of life?
Not quite. Carbon is the basis of organic chemistry, and is the base atom of all organic molecules, but that still leaves inorganic chemistry, in which carbon does not play such a central role.
What best describes diversity in terms of natural selection?
Diversity is the number of different role players (species) in an area. I like to think of diversity in the form of niches. The number of niches being filled in an ecosystem is directly related to the diversity.
