Which atmospheric component is chiefly a product of life processes?
Carbon Dioxide(Co2)
What environmental problem is caused by excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
None that can be proven. While global warming effects an increase in atmospheric CO2, it is not correct to assume that an increase in CO2 will cause global warming; there are several other atmospheric gasses more warming than CO2, also on the rise.
What is the relationship betwee carbon dioxide and atmospheric temperature?
CO2 is a greenhouse gas, meaning that as atmospheric levels of it rise, the temperature should gradually increase. This has, in fact, been observed.
Does the ocean's buffering affect offset carbonic acid?
Your question is somewhat garbled, but some of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere dissolves in the ocean and forms carbonic acid. This has a moderating affect on the atmospheric concentration of CO2.
What is the trend in atmospheric CO2 seasonally and over the past 50 years?
CO2 is rising rapidly. It is at least 25 percent higher than it was 400,000 years ago. CO2 increases slightly in the spring and summer and decreases during the fall and winter months.
Is photosynthesis responsible for atmospheric CO2?
Photosynthesis is responsible for lowering the levels of atmospheric CO2 since it is a requirement to make glucose. Cellular respiration produces CO2 as a by-product, so it is responsible for some atmospheric CO2.
Can I capture co2 under atmospheric pressure?
You will need to use a carbon scrubber device to capture co2 under atmospheric pressure.
What is the main atmospheric gas on mars?
co2
What atmospheric gas do animals produce?
CO2?
What is the c source for autotroph?
Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).
How does carbon dioxide go into your atmosphere?
When you breath, you exhale carbon dioxide. More CO2 enters the atmosphere from fossil fuels, deforestation, volcanoes, etc.Although more carbon dioxide comes from natural decaying processes like rotting vegetation and dead creatures, that carbon was pulled out of the atmosphere by those same organisms earlier in the same annual cycle. We have charted the seasonal variation of atmospheric CO2, and without the human contribution from fossil fuel burning it would change very little from year to year. Most new atmospheric CO2 is liberated by the burning of coal and oil.Volcanoes certainly produce some CO2, but unlike man these still very minor overall contributors.
Does a partial rebreather mask breath in CO2?
yes but only the ambient CO2 it is a NITROX mask for elevated O2 between 40 and 60 % the rest is AIR which contains Co2 at atmospheric pressure.. 1 BARAdditionAssuming you are talking about some kind of full face diving mask with a regulator attached, you will be rebreathing some gas you have exhaled. So yes, you will be rebreathing CO2 - which will be at a greater concentration as well as a greater partial pressure than the CO2 at atmospheric pressure. But it will be minor amounts. However if you are talking about a hospital type of application then it is a different answer.
What type of atmospheric gas enables plants to carry out photosynthesis?
CO2 or CarbonDiOxide
Which atmospheric component is chiefly a product of life processes?
Carbon Dioxide(Co2)
What effect is the destruction of forests likely to have atmospheric CO2 concentrations?
the increased CO2 levels since the destruction of forests will be fixed by photosynthesis
What environmental problem is caused by excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
None that can be proven. While global warming effects an increase in atmospheric CO2, it is not correct to assume that an increase in CO2 will cause global warming; there are several other atmospheric gasses more warming than CO2, also on the rise.
How do breeding programs slow down co2?
A "breeding program" - a means of improving you cattle stock, has no relationship whatsoever to the increase in atmospheric CO2.
