10
The answer '10' is meaningless. The question is specific. The figure 10 should be qualified with either grams or cm3 or liters!
Collected from http://wiki.answers.com/0/....................../ixzzhcAyNO
is roughly 0.02 and 0.036 gms.
What else can I help you with?
Does trees absorb carbon monoxide?
Carbon Monoxide: is a colorless, odorless, tastless gas that when inhaled is toxic to humans. Carbon Monoxide: is a byproduct of a rich mixture fire, Burning wood, Gas fires, etc. Your answer is No! Trees use Carbon Dioxide which is what you release when you exhale. So-Live long.
It is said that by planting more trees will help in increase oxygen level but even they give out carbondioxide during night time so the quetion is why not the carbondioxide level increases by planting?
During the day, trees perform photosynthesis and produce oxygen while absorbing carbon dioxide. At night, they undergo respiration and release some carbon dioxide but in much smaller amounts compared to the oxygen produced during the day. Overall, the net effect of planting trees is an increase in oxygen levels and a decrease in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.
How much CO2 does grass absorb compared to trees?
Grass absorbs less CO2 than trees because trees are larger and have more surface area for absorbing carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.
How do the lack of trees contribute to global warming?
Trees help to reduce global warming by 'cleaning the air'. Here's how: * A gas that helps to cause global warming is carbon dioxide. * Trees 'breathe' just like we do except when they breathe they take in carbon dioxide not oxygen. * When a tree breathes out it breathes out oxygen. * This is then breathed in by a human. * Carbon dioxide is breathed out the the human... * ...and breathed in by the tree... * This carries on continuously. Some trees have been growing in tropical rainforests like the Amazon Basin for hundreds of years. They store almost half their weight in carbon. So trees help reduce global warming in a way, but with people producing so much extra carbon dioxide global warming is happening. Trees probably have other effects on the environment and global warming, but I only know what is above. Hope it helps :) Yes, living trees breathe in carbon dioxide. But when they die, they ROT, and when they rot, all the carbon they stored over the years will be oxidized and released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. Well, not ALL of the carbon. Some part of it will be transferred to the soil. But in places like the Amazon Rain Forest, the soil is too thin to hold much carbon, so very little goes into the soil and what little does is rapidly released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. On the other hand, if, instead of allowing trees to die and rot, we were to HARVEST the trees, turn them into lumber, and treat them to prevent rot, the carbon therein would be sequestered (prevented from oxidizing into the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere) almost indefinitely.
What are the two ways that deforestation adds to the greenhouse effect?
Forests store carbon, sequestering it from the atmosphere. Deforestation means the timber may be used and eventually converted to carbon dioxide, or left to rot, which also means that it is converted to carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. Either way, deforestation contributes to increasing carbon dioxide levels and consequently the global warming process. More detail: Deforestation is the cutting down of trees to improve the value of tracts of land by making space for farms usually. Trees are a large source of oxygen and also remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. by cutting down trees, you limit the amount of carbon dioxide being removed from the air and, usually, the trees are burnt after being cut down in a 'chop and burn' method, this releases the carbon in the tree which reacts with oxygen because of the heat and moving into the atmosphere. As of such, not only does deforestation remove sources of oxygen and carbon dioxide sinks (a 'reservoir' of CO2) it also adds excess oxygen into the atmosphere. Forests are a strong "carbon sink." Through a process called photosynthesis, forests consume carbon dioxide and, using energy from sunlight, 'eat' the carbon atom in the carbon dioxide molecule, using it to create sugars and other nutrients and releasing the leftover oxygen. While all plants do this, tall, dense forests are the most efficient in terms of how much carbon a square acre of forest can remove from the atmosphere. Deforestation -- the widespread destruction of forest -- reduces the planet's ability to remove carbon from the atmosphere. This exacerbates the problem of carbon dioxide emissions because it lowers how much carbon can be removed from the atmosphere.
Will planting trees improve carbon dioxide levels?
In the short term, yes. As the trees grow, they sequester carbon from the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by turning it into wood. However, when the tree dies and decays or burns, much of that carbon returns to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.

How does cutting down forests affect the carbon cycle?
It affects the carbon cycle because when photosynthesis happens plant take in Carbon Dioxide and release oxygen. When the trees in the forest are cut down photosynthesis is reduced. Meaning, carbon dioxide will remain in the air that we breathe.
How much carbon does a tree consume?
On average, trees absorb about 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. This can vary depending on the species, age, and size of the tree. Working to protect and plant trees is important in mitigating climate change by capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Which processes in the carbon cycle decreases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis is the main process in the carbon cycle that decreases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and convert it into carbohydrates and oxygen. This helps to store carbon and reduce the overall concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
What do trees do for the carbon cycle?
The trees give us fresh air to breathe. Since their leaver savor up water, the sun probably evaporates it and there a many trees so pretty much we have enough air to breathe in. When we exhale, we actually let out carbon dioxide. I am in fifth grade and this whole thing was just a guess.

Do trees eat plastic bags?
There is so much that the trees do for us, but unfortunately, they can't eat plastics too. But they do 'eat' the carbon dioxide that you produce which is very important.
How much Co2 do the trees in the Amazon rainforest make a year?
The trees in the Amazon rainforest absorb an estimated 1.5 billion metric tons of CO2 annually through photosynthesis. They play a crucial role in sequestering carbon dioxide and help mitigate climate change by acting as a vital carbon sink.
How much CO2 does grass absorb compared to trees?
Grass absorbs less CO2 than trees because trees are larger and have more surface area for absorbing carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.

How much of the worlds carbon dioxide emission does is the US responsible for by burning fossil fuels?
The US is responsible for around 15% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels. This makes it one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions.
