Does a phone have a carbon footprint?
No :P It uses electricity, and so doesn't use carbon compounds.
What kind of reaction is responsible for the liberation of Carbon dioxide in red blood cells?
respiration- The body takes in oxygen and glucose and turns it into carbon dioxide. Glucose is a mix of Carbon D, oxygen, and water. The body uses the oxygen, gets rid of the carbon dioxide and uses some of the water( the rest of the water is waste).
What is carbon element used for?
Everything living is made of carbon. Carbon comes in many forms from coal to diamonds. Carbon also combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. Carbon is present in all organic compounds. As for practical uses; carbons is used for a wide variety of things. Most of these are industrial. Carbon is used to make artificial diamonds that mostly go into cutting devices, i.e. diamond toothed saw blades; though some are used for jewelry. Carbon is also used in air filters to reduce odors and in water filters to reduce impurities. It is also added to iron to create steal.
What organelle in a plant cell uses sunlight carbon dioxide and water to make glucose?
Chloroplasts - the process is known as photosynthesis.
How does the refrigerator harm the environment?
It uses electricity, most of which is generated by burning fossil fuels. This releases additional greenhouse gas in the form of carbon dioxide.
