How can carbon get from the atmosphere to the hydrosphere?
carbon dioxide dissolves in cold ocean surface water. The colder the water, the more CO2 can be dissolved.
Does photosynthesis take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere?
No, Cellular Respiration returns carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere: Photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Light Energy -> Sugar + Oxygen Cellular Respiration: Sugar + Oxygen -> C.R. -> Carbon Dioxide + Water
How does carbon enter plants from the atmosphere?
As carbon dioxide. Plants convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water to glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen in the chemical process of photosynthesis.
Which gases in earths atmosphere help keep surface temperatures warm enough for life?
carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.
If the Earth's original atmosphere was mainly carbon dioxide where did it all go and how?
The carbon dioxide was dissolved into the water and then eventually formed solid carbon (harmless.)
Is carbon dioxide in rain water?
All rain and surface water absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
How can carbon get from the atmosphere to the hydrosphere?
carbon dioxide dissolves in cold ocean surface water. The colder the water, the more CO2 can be dissolved.
Is there water and oxygen on Venus?
There is no liquid water on Venus and comparatively little water vapor. Most of the oxygen on the planet is combined as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere, and as oxides in surface rocks. The lack of water, along with the intense heat in the surface air, precludes the growth of plants that could remove carbon from the atmosphere as they do on Earth.
Can carbon dioxide evaporate mixed with water?
The carbon dioxide released from water can train to atmosphere some water molecules.
What would happen if carbon dioxide methane and water vapor were not in the atmosphere?
The Earths surface would be much colder than it is.
Does photosynthesis take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere?
No, Cellular Respiration returns carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere: Photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Light Energy -> Sugar + Oxygen Cellular Respiration: Sugar + Oxygen -> C.R. -> Carbon Dioxide + Water

Which gases in earths atmosphere help keep surface temperatures warm enough for life?
carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.
Where are carbon dioxide and water excreted during exhalation?
In the atmosphere .
What absorbs energy from the sun in the atmosphere?
Ozone, water vapor, carbon dioxide, clouds, dust, and other gases absorb energy in the atmosphere.
What is the source of carbon dioxide for water plants?
Carbon dioxide in the oceans primarily comes from the atmosphere. Some of the carbon dioxide from the air dissolves into the ocean water. However, smaller amounts can come from respiration of sea animals and other miscellaneous sources. The atmosphere is by far the largest source of carbon dioxide in ocean water, though.
How does carbon dioxide affect carbon cycle?
It allows more water to evaporate in the atmosphere.
