What happened to increase oxygen levels in Earths atmosphere?
One would have to look at the grand scheme of things. If oxygen here increased, CO2 (carbon dioxide) would decrease, as well as Nitrogen. If that happened more plant would die off. Their oxygen giving would be cut off. More storms would occur, then something interesting would happen. Since we breath out carbon dioxide, we would put carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere! Oxygen would decrease, carbon dioxide increase, and nitrogen would increase due to lighting storms. Balance would come back in play, as long as mad scientists don't try to artificially pump back CO2 and nitrogen. Who knows? Perhaps plants would come back!
What compound does the oxygen come from?
Oxygen is present in many compounds, such as water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and oxides like rust (Fe2O3). It is also found in organic molecules like glucose (C6H12O6) and proteins.
Where does most of the oxygen come from?
Most of the oxygen on Earth comes from photosynthesis, a process carried out by plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. These organisms take in carbon dioxide and water and use sunlight to produce oxygen as a byproduct.
What are the four most common gases in the atmosphere and their percentages?
The four most common gasses in the dry atmosphere and their approximate proportions are nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), argon (0.9), and carbon dioxide 0.03%. Water vapor would typically come in between 2nd and 4th if you included it in these numbers. At Earth's surface, water vapor can take up anywhere from just over 0 to nearly 7 percent of air. It's variability makes it difficult to put numbers to questions like this
Where does the hydrogen in glucose ultimately come from?
the hydrogen molecules are separeted from the water molecules in the equation, and since the law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed, the hydrogen is combined with the carbon and oxygen molecules to form glucose
What element does dioxide come from?
"Dioxide" typically refers to a compound of two oxygen atoms bonded with another element. For example, carbon dioxide comes from the element carbon, sulfur dioxide from sulfur, and nitrogen dioxide from nitrogen.
Which gas do animals remove from the air?
The gas that is taken in by animals is oxygen. Animals absorb oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and let out oxygen.
Where does the carbon and oxygen and glucose ultimately come from?
the oxygen and carbon come from the Carbon Dioxide in the Dark Reactions of Photosynthesis. This didnt help
Is sulfur dioxide part of carbon dioxide?
No, sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide are two different compounds. Sulfur dioxide consists of sulfur and oxygen atoms, while carbon dioxide consists of carbon and oxygen atoms. Both are greenhouse gases, but they come from different sources and have different environmental impacts.
Where does most of the air huumans breath come from?
They come from plants. It is a cycle. (Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen Cycle) When you breathe out you realse Carbon Dioxide and the plants sucks it in and relase oxygen and that is what we breathe in.
Where does carbon from photosynthesis come from?
From the animals around it breathing oxygen and converting it to carbon dioxide.
Where does the carbon from photosynthesis come from?
From the animals around it breathing oxygen and converting it to carbon dioxide.
How does the spiny lobster obtain oxygen and give off carbon dioxide?
When lobsters are underwater they breath in oxygen, when they come above water they breath out carbon dioxide.
Where does the carbon dioxde used by plants come from?
Humans inhale oxygen, and breath out carbon dioxide. It is like a cycle.
Where does mass come from?
The mass of a parcel of air is the result of the mass of the molecules of which it's composed ... you know, the nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, neon, argon, krypton, water, stuff like that.
What do forest need carbon dioxide for?
So that they plants can make glucose for photosynthesis. Glucose is C6H12O6, and the carbon and some oxygen in that equation come from Carbon Dioxide in the plants enviroment.
How come there is enough oxygen left over for animals to breathe?
animals breathe oxygen, as you know, and exhale carbon dioxide. plants, trees for example, take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. this is why there is plaenty of oxygen left for every living creature
