How has the amount of carbon dioixde became less over the years?

The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been increasing steadily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. Efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions include transitioning to renewable energy sources, increasing energy efficiency, and reforestation. However, these efforts have not been enough to offset the overall increase in carbon dioxide levels.


How do plant leaves get enough carbon dioxide to carry out photosynthesis?

they get carbon dioxide by small holes called stomata.


Will the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere soon be greater than the amount of oxygen?

Hahaha! No, never. Oxygen is around 19 or 20% of the air, Carbon Dioxide is about 0.00 something percent. It's a small amount but it's enough to cause the greenhouse effect. If it ever did, we'd be long dead/overheated. So, yeah, it never will.


In total darkness does a plant give off carbon dioxide?

A plant does give off Carbon Dioxide at night when there is not enough light for photosynthesis to occur.


Will you die from inhaling someone elses' oxygen?

When people exhale they are not giving out oxygen but are putting out extra carbon dioxide which is poisonous to humans (that's why we blow it out). But the amount of oxygen we remove from the air we inhale, and the amount of carbon dioxide we add to our exhaled air, is not nearly enough to be immediately dangerous to someone else. This is why you can revive a person by carefully breathing into their mouth while pinching their nose, as in rescue breathing. The only way exhaled air becomes hazardous to yourself or others is if you are exhaling for an extended time in a small, air tight space. Then you use up enough of the oxygen, and add enough carbon dioxide, to create a dangerously low oxygen concentration, or a dangerously high carbon dioxide concentration.


Why does carbon dioxide ice exists on mars and not on earth?

Mars is cold enough for carbon dioxide to solidify at its poles. Earth is too warm for dry ice.


Which form of carbon burns in oxygen to give carbon dioxide?

All of them. At a high enough temperature, even diamond will burn, and produce (ridiculously expensive) carbon dioxide.


Will a burning spilint go out in carbon dioxide gas?

Yes, a burning splint will go out in carbon dioxide gas because carbon dioxide does not support combustion. When the concentration of oxygen is low, the splint will not have enough oxygen to sustain combustion and will be extinguished.


How does cigarette smoke affect the body right away?

Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide lowers the amount of oxygen the blood can transport. And Nicotine shrinks the blood vessels so not as much blood can be transported. These two effects combined mean the heart has to work much harder, and your body still doesn't get enough oxygen. The smoke also gives you bad breath right away.


What planet has a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere?

Venus has a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere, making up about 96.5% of its atmosphere. This high concentration of carbon dioxide contributes to the intense greenhouse effect on the planet, resulting in surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead.


How burning carbon in air can lead o the formation of carbon monoxide?

The formation of carbon dioxide. Burning coal that releases only carbon dioxide means the coal is completely burnt and more energy is produced. Carbon monoxide is released when the combustion process is incomplete.


What happens when there are less oxygen and more carbon dioxide?

When there is less oxygen and more carbon dioxide in the air, it can lead to respiratory problems as the body struggles to get enough oxygen. High levels of carbon dioxide can also cause dizziness, confusion, and eventually lead to carbon dioxide toxicity. It's important to ensure proper ventilation and air quality to maintain a healthy balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
