They say that too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is the key factor that will make the oceans more acidic and imperil key parts of the marine food chain.

What enters the Calvin cycle from the atmosphere?
CO2
What is the main regulator of CO2 in the atmosphere because CO2 desolves easily in it?
The ocean is the main regulator of CO2 in the atmosphere because CO2 dissolves easily in it.
How does the ocean affect the rate of accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere?
Oceans act as a carbon sink, in fact they are the largest carbon sink absorbing about 1/4 of the CO2 we put into the air. However, with global warming considering that CO2 dissolves better in cold water there is a worry that the oceans will not be able to hold as much CO2 and will begin to release it into the atmosphere
Can the Ocean absorb all of the CO2 that you produce?
The ocean is one of the largest CO2 sinks in existance. A sink is a system that takes carbon dioxide out of the air. The ocean does this by several mechanisms: * photosynthesis by all the algae * dissolving the gas into the water * fixing the carbon dioxide into corals and shell asa carbonate So yes the ocean could absorb all the CO2. However - dissolving CO2 creates problems for the ocean. As more CO2 is absorbed the ocean gets more acidic and the corals can't maintain their carbonate deposits, these dissolve back into the water, the pH interfered with osmotic pressures and breeding conditions for fish. In addition the increased CO2 promotes algae growth which may cause algae blooms (large algae clumps) which sink to the bottom of he ocean removig trace minerals from the water. So the answer is realy "Yes it can, but you probably don't want it to."
When rain and CO2 combines what happens?
Carbonic acid is formed.
What happens when pyrvuate enters the mitochondria?
They are turned into acetyl co-A.Finally into two CO2 molecules.
How much co2 enters atmosphere from car exhaust?
None its only used when the car is moving
What enters the Calvin cycle from the atmosphere?
CO2
What are the holes in the leaf that the CO2 enters through?
Stomata
What gas enters the plant during the day when there is sunlight?
co2
What are the holes in the leaf called that the CO2 enters through?
Stomata
What happens to rubisco when o2 concentration is much higher then CO2 concentration?
When ther is a higher concentration of O2 than CO2, rubisco can bind O2 in place of CO2.
How do plants gets co2 for making food by the process of photosynthesis?
CO2 is obtained from the atmosphere.CO2 enters plants through stomata
How does Co2 enter plants?
CO2 enters a plant through stomata. Stomata is present on the base of leaves.
Where does CO2 enter on a leaf during photosynthesis?
CO2 enters through stomata. They are tiny pores on leaves.
What happens if there are a few trees?
land slides, too much co2, and no more toilet paper.
CO2 enters and 02 escapes from a leaf via?
I think that I am riegh
