No, you cannot live in an atmosphere that consists solely of carbon dioxide. Humans and most other animals require oxygen for respiration, and a high concentration of carbon dioxide can be toxic, leading to suffocation. While some organisms, like certain bacteria and plants, can thrive in carbon dioxide-rich environments, they have evolved mechanisms to utilize it for energy or survival.

Will you be living on Venus?

No way. Atmosphere of Carbon Dioxide with no Oxygen. Surface temperature of 860 Degrees Fahrenheit. No human will ever live on Venus.


Why is carbon dioxide released from dead roots?

For a plant to live, it breathes in carbon dioxide. When a plant dies it still has to go somewhere if it isn't used, because the plant will start to decompose, so the carbon dioxide is released


Where do the oxygen atoms in the carbon dioxide come from?

When Carbon reacts with Oxygen then the Carbon will react with the Oxygen and produce Carbon Dioxide Where C is Carbon Where O is Oxygen Where CO2 is Carbon Dioxide Sorry, but in a chemical equation, you should never put an equals sign '=', because you will lose marks, or not get any marks at all, if you wrote it in an Exam/Test Here is how it works: C + O = CO2


How are forests able to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it for years?

All trees and different types of vegetation can. The trees and plants don't store all of the carbon dioxide for years because some plants die, and some trees drop leaves in the fall. What happens is in the summer when the trees get new leaves and grow more wood in the form of branches and a larger trunk, then they store a lot of carbon dioxide. However, in the fall, when the leaves fall and they decompose, a portion of the carbon dioxide is released back into the atmosphere. The majority of the carbon dioxide is stored, or sequestered, in the wood of the trees and the remaining parts of the plants (such as stems, roots). That is until they are consumed by rotting, or decomposing, or by being burned. Then the carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere once more. Since trees live a very long time, a lot of carbon dioxide is stored for a very long time.


Plants help lower the amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Plants live and die, and thus atmospheric CO2 increases in the winter and subsides in the summer. Plant sequestration of carbon is not necessarily a long term solution, though trees grown for lumber could lock up carbon for long periods of time.

How many pounds of carbon dioxide is remove form the atmosphere annually when a tree is removed?

When a tree is removed, it can release the carbon dioxide it has stored over its lifetime back into the atmosphere, instead of removing it. So, the removal of a tree can actually lead to an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, depending on how the tree is handled and if it is replaced with new plantings.


Does Mars have too much carbon dioxide for humans to live on it?

Mars has too LITTLE OXYGEN for humans to live on. Earth's atmosphere has about 21% Oxygen at 1 atmosphere of pressure, but you can live on higher percentages of oxygen at lower pressures such as in NASA spacesuits. While Carbon Dioxide is toxic to humans at high concentrations, you would likely suffocate to death from lack of oxygen first on Mars. Search Wiki: Atmosphere of Mars "The atmosphere on Mars consists of 95% carbon dioxide, 3% nitrogen, and 1.6% argon, and contains traces of oxygen, water, and methane..."


Carboniferous plus time scale plus 2010?

there is no word called carboniferous carbon is an element that has a grayish blackish color. its most common molecule is carbon dioxide. if you add that to the time scale, the carbon dioxide will add up in the atmosphere that we live in. ifyou add 2010 then you havethe amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the year 2010... which is alot. and people are tryingto reduce carbon emissions.


Can monkeys live on Mars?

No, Mars is a barren planet with no liquid water, no plants, and the atmosphere is almost all carbon dioxide.


What is the role for carbon dioxide on this earth?

We would die without carbon dioxide - carbon dioxide is essential to the production of oxygen! Trees and green plants ingest carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; plankton and green algae from the salt water (including ocean) or fresh water they live in. These green things produce oxygen as part of the process of photosynthesis. Oxidation produces some carbon dioxide, too, but the net effect is to give off less carbon dioxide, and produce more oxygen than they use. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere forms part of the greenhouse effect, which, if its levels are not disturbed, keeps the earth pleasantly warm enough for life.


What happens in the carbon dioxide oxygen cycle?

In the carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle, plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release oxygen as a byproduct. Animals then consume this oxygen and release carbon dioxide as a waste product during respiration. This cycle maintains a balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere essential for life on Earth.


How do plants on earth affect the amount of carbon in earth's atmosphere?

It can regulate carbon because plants need it to live.

Was carbon dioxide present in earth's early atmosphere?

Yes, carbon dioxide is present at varying concentrations at all levels of the atmosphere. Most of it is in the troposphere, the lowest level. It comprises about 0.04% of atmospheric gases, but this is a dynamic amount as it is constantly being removed and replaced by the processes of the carbon cycle.

What was the first animal to live on Earth?

The earliest fossils found are of stromatolites from around 3.5 billion years ago. Stromatolites are formed of bacteria that convert carbon dioxide, water and sunlight into calcium carbonate and oxygen. Evidence from trapped bubbles of atmosphere in volcanic rocks shows that the atmosphere 3.5billion years ago was more like Venus today; largely carbon dioxide. Stromatolites thrived in this atmosphere. Ironically, their success caused a major crisis for early life as they removed most of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
