Humans and all other animals exhale carbon dioxide, as part of the natural cycle, in which plants absorb the carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. As long as we have enough plants in the form of trees, algae and other vegetaion, this cycle is sustainable with no increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases.
Cows and sheep also exhale methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas that is not absorbed by plants. This has been blamed as a significant contributor to global warming.
What else can I help you with?
How does minimizing rocket flights protect the ozone layer?
Rocket fuel contain greenhouse gases which cause ozone depletion. Minimizing them will do benefit.
Why inhaled gases is different from exhaled gases?
Inhaled gases is oxegen and exhaled gases you CAN'T brethe in because it's carbon dioxide.
What gases are not greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
Is global warming due to greenhouse gases?
Yes, this is the most important cause.
What substances trap heat from the earth in?
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
What greenhouse gases contain carbon?
Greenhouse gases that contain carbon include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). These gases trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to global warming and climate change.
Are oxygen and nitrogen important greenhouse gases?
Independently, oxygen and nitrogen are not greenhouse gases (though N2O, NO and NO2 are greenhouse gases). The most important greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide. Methane, although found in quite low concentrations is also important because of its proportionately greater effect.
How does minimizing rocket flights protect the ozone layer?
Rocket fuel contain greenhouse gases which cause ozone depletion. Minimizing them will do benefit.
Why inhaled gases is different from exhaled gases?
Inhaled gases is oxegen and exhaled gases you CAN'T brethe in because it's carbon dioxide.
Which gas does the exhaled air contain?
Exhaled air will contain all of the gases in regular air, except that it will have higher percentages of carbon dioxide and lower percentages of oxygen. (It still will have oxygen, or CPR wouldn't work.) It will also have water vapor from our lungs. The main gas in inhaled and exhaled air is nitrogen. This is followed by oxygen, then carbon dioxide, then other gases. Yes, there is still more oxygen exhaled than carbon dioxide, but at a smaller percentage than was inhaled. Chances are that your teacher is looking for the gas, carbon dioxide, as your answer, since that is the product of cellular respiration that is disposed of in exhaled air, but it isn't the main component of exhaled air.
What does 'sequestering greenhouse gases' mean?
To sequester means to keep away from other things so sequestering greenhouse gases means to contain the gases in a location away from other gases. Greenhouse gases are building up in the atmosphere, so scientists are investigating ways of pumping them underground.
What is the connection between the cutting of Brazilian rainforest and greenhouse efffect?
The rain-forests are important to the environment because they filter gases, such as carbon and methane, common greenhouse gases, in the atmosphere. Without them, there is nothing to stop the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases then trap more heat, adding to global warming. THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT!
What are four important greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere?
Four important greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and water vapor (H2O). These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and contributing to global warming.
What do greenhouse gases contain?
Greenhouse gases are primarily composed of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and water vapor (H2O). These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and contributing to global warming and climate change.
What gases are not greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
How are atmospheric gases like the gases in a greenhouse?
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
Is global warming due to greenhouse gases?
Yes, this is the most important cause.
