Plants are the air-purifiers for planet earth. They clean it, and in doing so produce the oxygen we, and all animals need to survive. This happens through one of the most amazing chemical reactions you can imagine, photosynthesis. More on this a bit further down, but as a lead in to the story we'll ask a question whose answer may astound you... Imagine the largest tree you've ever seen (even in a picture) - where does the matter come from that forms the mass of wood, branches and leaves?
The earth itself is a "closed system" in that it produces everything it needs to ensure the survival and development of its inhabitants. Within the system there is a delicate balance that must be maintained. In the page below we will explore one relationship within that balance, the air-purifying plants, man and Carbon Dioxide (CO2). We'll do so looking at things most of us use everyday as examples of mans part in this relationship (as a producer of CO2).
At present there is much debate about people's impact on the planet. This debate is most pronounced in the discussions around global warming and our responsibility for the continued increase in CO2 and other "greenhouse gases" released into, and consolidating in, the earth's atmosphere. Tying in directly to this problem are topics such as deforestation and the 1994 Kyoto protocols.
When you look around, it's a bit hard to comprehend we are really the newcomers on the planet. We've built so much and seem to be expanding everywhere. With our building and expansion, we use ever more fossil fuel to run our homes, our cars and the planes we fly in. Burning these fuels creates CO2 as one byproduct of the process. Even the batteries that run our cell phones, Ipods and other gadgets use electricity for charging, which in most instances creates more CO2.
As it turns out, CO2 is also a very important gas in the life processes. Plants use CO2 in the chemical process mentioned above, photosynthesis.
What else can I help you with?
In what process do producers use carbon from carbon dioxide to produce other carbon-containing molecules?
Producers use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis to convert it into glucose and other carbon-containing molecules. This process involves capturing energy from sunlight to drive the chemical reactions that transform carbon dioxide into organic compounds.
How is carbon cycled from the atmosphere through producers and consumers?
Carbon is cycled from the atmosphere to producers (plants) through photosynthesis, where they take in carbon dioxide to produce glucose. Consumers then consume these plants, obtaining carbon by eating them. When consumers respire or decompose, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
What process do producers take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
Producers, such as plants, take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use the energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process helps to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and produce oxygen as a byproduct.
In which process do producers use carbon from carbon dioxide to produce other carbon containing molecules?
Producers use carbon from carbon dioxide during photosynthesis to produce other carbon-containing molecules like glucose, which serve as energy sources for the plant. The process involves converting carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose through the use of sunlight.
What do you use carbon dioxide?
Well I use carbon dioxide in my fire extinguisher. What do you use carbon dioxide, or to put it another way? In what do you use carbon dioxide? Humans breathe out carbon dioxide... Breathing it out is not exactly using it. That would be more like making it.
Where do producers get the carbon dioxide they need to make food?
Producers get the carbon dioxide they need to make food from the atmosphere. They take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, a process in which they convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight.
What roles do producers play in carbon cycle?
producers take in carbon dioxide from photosynthesis and so they create the system because consumers eat the producers they get carbon and so on so forth.we eventually release that carbon into the air as carbon dioxide.
What things do producers do?
Water and Carbon Dioxide
How does carbon become of living organisms?
Producers take in carbon dioxide from the air, and consumers eat the producers.
Producers use carbon dioxide in the process of?
They use carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, to make food.
What do producers use to carry out photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide
What producers and consumers give off?
carbon dioxide
Do producers realese carbon dioxide as a result of photosynthesis?
no
What gas do producers use for carbon to make sugars and starches?
Producers use carbon dioxide gas (CO2) to produce sugars and starches through the process of photosynthesis. In the presence of sunlight, plants and other producers convert carbon dioxide into glucose, which serves as the building block for carbohydrates like starches.
In what process do producers use carbon from carbon dioxide to produce other carbon-containing molecules?
Producers use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis to convert it into glucose and other carbon-containing molecules. This process involves capturing energy from sunlight to drive the chemical reactions that transform carbon dioxide into organic compounds.
What process do producers us carbon from carbon dioxide to produce other carbon containing molecules?
photosynthesis
In which process do producers use carbon from carbon dioxide to produce other carbon- containing molecules?
photosynthesis
