Describe the cycling of carbon in the carbon cycle?
The two processes of the carbon cycle are photosynthesis and cellular respiration. In photosynthesis carbon from carbon dioxide is fixed into carbohydrates. In cellular respiration, carbohydrates are broken down to form ATP and carbon in the form of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.
What Component of all living matter and fossil fuels?
Carbon.
What would lead to an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Continuing to burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) would lead to an increase in carbon dioxide levelsbecause we are adding long-buried carbon to the atmosphere and the carbon cycle is unable to cope with this extra amount.Natural sources of atmospheric carbon dioxide include volcanic outgassing, the combustion of organic matter, and the respiration processes of living aerobic organisms.Man-made sources of carbon dioxide include the burning of fossil fuels for heating, power generation and transport, as well as some industrial processes such as cement making.
Is carbon dioxide matter?
Yes. Everything that exists is matter in a various state.
What geological process returns carbon to the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide?
Carbon never leaves our environment. Where is exists has always been the issue. Carbon makes up all living matter. This carbon is released into the ground or our air when the organism dies and decays or is burnt. A tree that is burnt will release the same amount of carbon as a tree that rots.
Is Matter Living or Non Living?
Matter is everything. Carbon Dioxide is matter, Water is matter, and solids are matter is Mostly Matter is everything you can touch.
What does biometer mean?
A biometer is a device for measuring the carbon dioxide given off by living matter.
What are some examples of living matter?
A person, donkey plants, trees etc. are examples of living matter because they have life. If you talk about these matter you will have to mention oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Is carbon dioxide an element a compound a mixture or not matter?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a compound composed of carbon and oxygen atoms.
Does carbon dioxide have particulates?
Carbon dioxide does contain particles. One of the carbon dioxide particles is referred to as carbon dioxide hydrate particle. All matter is made up of different particles. Carbon dioxide is a compound.
Where is carbon found in the biosphere?
In the atmosphere as Carbon Dioxide (Co2) Underground as fossil fuels and calcium carbonate rock In the oceans as dissolved Co2
Is carbon dioxide example of matter?
yes
A poison released by decaying matter?
Carbon dioxide is the poison released by decaying matter. When animals or plants die, they decay and release carbon dioxide.
What phase of matter is carbon dioxide?
Carbon Dioxide can be a solid, liquid or gas. At standard temperature and pressure, it is a gas.
What does respiraton?
The process whereby living organisms convert organic matter to carbon dioxide, releasing energy whilst consuming molecular oxygen.
What is a poison released by decaying matter?
Carbon Dioxide.
How much oxygen is left in the world?
All living things (except plant matter) nead oxygen, and we inhale it to fuel our muscels. What we exhale is Carbon Dioxide. Plants transform Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen during the process of photosynthesis, so as long as there are trees or plants it really doesn't matter.
