What does respiration remove from the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is being released. As you breathe in you inhale fresh oxygen, but as you breathe out your body releases carbon dioxide.
How does photosynthesis affect the carbon dioxide balance of the atmosphere?
One of the key elements in photosynthesis, is carbon dioxide. As we need food, so do plants. Plants do this by taking neutriance water, the suns energy and carbon dioxide to create a substance called glucose. This reduces the amount of carbon in the air, and in the process releases oxygen for us to breathe.
Does photosynthesis and chemosynthesis use oxygen and release carbon dioxide?
During Photosynthesis carbon dioxide is used and oxygen is released. In chemo-synthesis oxygen may be used but it releases Sulfur dioxide. Example of chemo-synthesis are sulfur bacteria.
What absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
The carbon dioxide is absorbed by: 1. Chlorophyll in green plants. The chlorophyll breaks down the carbon dioxide to carbon and oxygen. The carbon is used by the plant as a nutrient and the oxygen is released to the atmosphere. 2. Oceans. The carbon dioxide absorbed and dissolved in the water. The carbon dioxide is adsorbed by green algae and water micro organisms.
What is the process that requires oxygen to occur?
The name of the process that requires oxygen is aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.
How does the main kind of organism that brings about decay let carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
the organism releases carbon dioxide as a waste, as an extra from creating energy it can use.
Can you identify whether each process is a carbon source or a carbon sink?
A carbon source is a process that releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, while a carbon sink is a process that absorbs and stores carbon dioxide.
What is the difference between a carbon source and a carbon sink in the context of the carbon cycle?
In the carbon cycle, a carbon source releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, while a carbon sink absorbs and stores carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
What is the function of the frog's respiratory system?
It absorbs oxygen while at the same time releases carbon dioxide across its surface.
What is the name of the gas self given off?
The gas that a living organism releases as a byproduct of respiration is carbon dioxide.
Are trees made of carbon?
About half the body weight of a tree is carbon. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, stores the carbon, and releases the oxygen. As the tree grows, it stores more and more carbon.
The process of decay releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
The process of decay releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
What do chloroplasts help?
A. It convert light into carbon dioxide B. It absorbs carbon dioxide C. It absorbs light energy D. It absorbs water
What absorbs oxygen from the air and releases carbon dioxide?
Carbon oxidation/reduction. The carbon typically comes from tree wood (eg a forest fire) or fossil fuel (coal or oil).
What systems takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide?
Animal respiration takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.
What two things does the leaf take to make food?
The leaf takes in carbon dioxide from the air and absorbs sunlight to make food through a process called photosynthesis. This process converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and releases oxygen as a byproduct.
How can carbon reenter the atmosphere once it becomes part of an organism?
When an organism dies, the carbon it contains is broken down by decomposers like bacteria and fungi. This decomposition process releases carbon back into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide. Additionally, when organisms are burned or consumed by other animals, carbon is also released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
