Carbon dioxide in the ocean can undergo several processes, including dissolving into the water to form carbonic acid, being taken up by marine organisms for photosynthesis, and participating in chemical reactions that can affect the ocean's pH levels. This can contribute to ocean acidification, which can have negative impacts on marine life.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to the pH of the ocean when carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere?
When carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere, it gets absorbed by the ocean, causing the pH of the ocean to decrease, making it more acidic.
Is the ocean primarily a sink or source of carbon in the Earth's carbon cycle?
The ocean is primarily a sink of carbon in the Earth's carbon cycle.
Is the ocean currently acting as a carbon sink or a carbon source?
The ocean is currently acting as a carbon sink, absorbing more carbon dioxide than it releases into the atmosphere.
Is carbon dixoide a element?
No, carbon dioxide is a mixture of carbon and oxygen which are two different elements. Carbon Dioxide is a compound as it is made of two different elements!! :)
How do phytoplankton contribute to carbon capture in the ocean?
Phytoplankton, tiny marine plants, play a crucial role in carbon capture in the ocean through photosynthesis. They absorb carbon dioxide from the water and atmosphere, converting it into organic carbon. When phytoplankton die or are eaten by other organisms, this organic carbon sinks to the ocean floor, effectively removing carbon from the atmosphere and storing it in the deep ocean. This process helps regulate the Earth's carbon cycle and mitigate climate change.
What organisms in the ocean absorb the most carbon dixoide?
Algae and marine plants
Common name for Solid carbon dixoide?
dry ice
What is the vain that returns carbon dixoide to the lungs?
vena cava
How does respration work?
Resparation is basically the release of energy but if you are talking about breathing in and out then the air fills in our lungs and enters the alveoli and a gas exchange happens. Oxygen diffuses into the low oxygnated blood and the carbon dixoide diffuses out, that carbon dixoide is brethed out and the oxygnated blood is sent to the rest of the body e.g organs and muscles wich use it as a source of energy.
Why do leafs appear green?
because they have carbon dixoide in them which gives us oxygen to breathe.
How many atoms altogether are in carbon dixoide?
Three: 1 C and 2 O atoms
Increased rate of breathing as a result of increased buildup of carbon dixoide is an example of?
excretion of metabolic waste
What substance makes up air?
It is mostly Nitrogen and Oxygen, with a little bit of Argon and Carbon Dixoide.
What are some uses for carbon dixoide?
well fisrt llits the bad air so its not good for anything :/
What happens to the pH of the ocean when carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere?
When carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere, it gets absorbed by the ocean, causing the pH of the ocean to decrease, making it more acidic.
What happens to the blood as it passes through the pulmonary capillaries?
There is an exchange with oxygen, nutrients, and carbon dioxide and water vapor.
Does photosynthesis give off carbon dixoide?
No, during photosynthesis plants uptake carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it to produce glucose and oxygen as a byproduct.
