Oxygen and carbon dioxide are considered to be in a cycle because they are constantly being exchanged between living organisms and the environment through processes like photosynthesis and respiration. Plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen during photosynthesis, while animals take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide during respiration, creating a continuous cycle of these two gases in Earth's ecosystems.
What else can I help you with?
Is carbon dioxide a molecule of an element or compound?
carbon dioxide CO2 is a compound because it contains two different elements that is to say carbon and oxygen
Why is it inaccurate to say that we breathe in oxygen and we breathe out carbon dioxide?
It's inaccurate because we actually breathe in a mixture of gases, with oxygen being the most abundant at about 21%. When we breathe out, the air we exhale still contains a significant amount of oxygen along with other gases like nitrogen and some carbon dioxide. The exchange of gases occurs in the lungs, where oxygen is taken up by the blood and carbon dioxide is released.
Is carbon dioxide an ionic or molecular compound?
As both carbon and oxygen are non-metals, they bond together with covalent bonds forming molecules of carbon dioxide CO2, and hence carbon dioxide is a molecular compound.another person say's: in easier words, Carbon-oxide is a molecular. (non-ionic)
Is it correct to say that you breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide?
It is probably more accurate to say that you breath in air, a mixture of gases which contains about 21% oxygen and 0,04% CO2, and you breath out a mixture of gasses which contains a far greater concentration of carbon dioxide than you inhaled (about 5% of the mass of all the exhaled gas).
What would Proust say about the composition of all carbon dioxide molecules?
Proust would likely state that in a sample of carbon dioxide, all molecules would contain one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms in a fixed ratio, following the law of definite proportions. Each molecule of carbon dioxide would have the same composition regardless of its source or location.
Why could you say that the carbon dioxide and oxygen cycle is balance?
because you take in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide
Why could you say that the oxygen carbon dioxide cycle is balance?
because you take in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide
In carbon dioxide what element is combined with carbon?
Oxygen.The C in CO2 stands for Carbon, the O for oxygen and the 2 to say that there are two oxygen atoms in the carbon dioxide molecule. If there is no 2 or 3 or whatever next to the representation of the atom, this means that there is only one of that atom in the molecule
Can we say that you cant hear sound in space because there is no oxygen and carbon dioxide?
It is better to say that it is because there is no air of any sort in space. Any gas can carry sound, it is not a special property of oxygen or carbon dioxide.
Is carbon dioxide a molecule of an element or compound?
carbon dioxide CO2 is a compound because it contains two different elements that is to say carbon and oxygen
What is the oxygen cycle?
It is when say for exampe that you breath in oxygen and then breath out Carbon Dioxide. The Carbon dioxide is released in the air and then the trees take it and produce oxygen. The oxygen is released and then the cycle starts all over again.
What light rays do plants absorb and which do they reflect?
Plants absorb Co2. Carbon dioxide. Which is Carbon and oxygen. The carbon is used in the plant and the oxygen is released, (or reflected as you could say).
Carbon dioxide is used as fire extinguisher Carbon dioxide causes global warming How can you say that Carbon dioxide has a cooling effect as it is used in refrigation?
Think: dry ice is made of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is heavier than oxygen so when released from the container it expands to gaseous form and forms a barrier between the fire and oxygen, thus eliminating fuel for the fire and causing it to beextinguished.
Do you capitalize carbon dioxide in a sentence?
Probably since it's a chemical name, I capitalize Oxygen when I say it.
What 2 body systems would be working to get carbon dioxide out the body and oxygen into the body cells?
Circulatory and Respiratory systems, which is to say, the blood transport system and the breathing system.Specifically, the heme cells in the blood pick up oxygen at the lungs and take it to all the individual cells in the body, while at the same time picking up the by-product of cells burning fuel (glucose or blood-sugar) with the oxygen to make carbon-dioxide. When the heme cells returns to the lungs they exchange the CO2 for fresh O2, and the cycle repeats.
How many carbon dioxide Molecules are needed to make a single?
None. You see, carbon dioxide, per say, is not used in the chemical formula for glusose, which is C6-H12-O6. It makes use of six carbon atoms and six oxygen atoms, but no carbon dioxide moleecules.
How can we say that oxygen released during photosynthesis is a result of water or carbon dioxide break down?
Isotope studies.
