Why is olive oil as a fuel said to be carbon neutral?
As the olive tree grows it takes in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, and gives out oxygen. When olive oil is burnt it gives out the carbon dioxide that it took in, so overall there is no net movement of carbon dioxide. - This is why it is said to be carbon neutral. "Carbon neutral" means generally that the activity adds no additional carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This is in comparison to the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which do add extra greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide which has been hidden underground for 300 million years).
Is carbon dioxide stored in plants and animals?
There are two very basic reactions that can be said to support life on this earth. One is photosynthesis, which happens in plants. In photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide and water and convert it to glucose and oxygen. Overall, photosynthesis requires energy, gathered from sunlight. This energy essentially winds up stored in the glucose. Usually, the glucose will wind up being stored in more complex sugars and starches. The other reaction is respiration, which releases the energy from glucose. This reaction requires oxygen, and releases carbon dioxide and water. Plants and animals use this reaction to provide the energy that they need. So, anything that stores glucose or its more complex forms does store carbon. However, animals take in glucose and break it down, thus releasing carbon dioxide, while plants tend to absorb much more carbon dioxide than they release. Thus, both plants and animals do store carbon, but only plants will actually absorb carbon dioxide and store that carbon.
How is cellular respiration used in carbon cycle?
Animals produce carbon dioxide. Animals produce carbon dioxide
What 2 solutions can be used to test for carbon dioxide?
lime water turns milky in the presence of CO2 Limewater (a solution of Calcium hydroxide) - when carbon dioxide is blown through the solution, a precipitate of Calcium carbonate is produced. The solution is said to turn "milky" or "cloudy". Bromothymol blue (pH range 2.4 to 4.6) (red in colour) is added to distilled water, which turns it yellow. Carbon dioxide turns the resulting yellow solution green.
What puts CO2 into the air?
Activities such as burning fossil fuels for transportation, electricity generation, and industrial processes release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. Deforestation also contributes to the release of CO2 by reducing the number of trees available to absorb the gas through photosynthesis.
Does sugar have carbon dioxide?
It is said that salt is in sand so it does not have carbon-dioxide
What are the positive effects of electricity on the environment?
The positive effects of electricity on the environment are quite limited as mostly electricity has negative impact on the environment. Plants can be said to benefit slightly from the carbon dioxide released in the generation of electricity.

Why are the Earth's rainforests important to humans?
Rainforests can be said to be the largest collection of trees on Earth. Without rainforests, there would be a significant drop in the number of trees and greenery. Without these trees, global warming will start to take its toll on us as carbon dioxide is not replaced by oxygen during photosynthesis and leaving a huge amount of carbon dioxide in the air.
How does carbon enter the biotic parts of the biosphere during the carbon cycle?
Carbon, in the form of carbon dioxide, enters living things from the nonliving environment when plants and other producers photosynthesize. Carbon returns to the environment when living things respire, are decomposed, or are burned (combustion).
Helicobacter pylori bacteria grow in the human stomach These bacteria produce a large amount of urease Of what value is this urease to Helicobacter?
The urease produced by Helicobacter pylori helps neutralize stomach acid, providing a more favorable environment for the bacteria's survival. Urease breaks down urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide, which can help buffer the acidic conditions in the stomach.
Which state of matter is carbon dioxide?
It exists either as a gas as carbon dioxide or CO2, or it is dissolved in water as H2CO3 (note that if you add the formulas for water and carbon dioxide, you get carbonic acid: H2O + CO2 --> H2CO3). You cannot have pure carbonic acid that is not in the presence of water, and thus H2CO3 exists ONLY as a dissolved solution in water.

Molecular shape of carbon dioxide?
Linear
What gas does oxygen carry?
Under ordinary conditions oxygen is itself a gas so cannot be said to carry a gas.
If you cool carbon dioxide below -78.5 what state will it be?
I guess we're both lookin' for an answer to this question, huh? Well I think (I said 'I think') that the carbon dioxide will turn into liquid. Don't get mad at me if this is the wrong answer. I suggest that you go with your own gut on what you think the right answer really is.
