Plants take in carbon either by leafing out or by growing. In the fall, as they become dormant, leaves which drop off rot and release carbon dioxide. The amount of carbon taken over the course of a year is essentially represented by the thickness of one alternating light/dark band. You could divide this mass of carbon by 365 to get the average per day. It does not work out to a lot.

Also note however much carbon the tree accumulates, it breaks apart nearly 3.6 times as much CO2. This is because the oxygen it takes in is released.

The amount varies as the tree ages. Small trees do not take in as much. Large trees are able to take in much more. A typical tree might weigh 3 tons by the time it is 40 years old, of which perhaps 50% is carbon. So 1.5 tons of sequestered carbon comes from 5.5 tons of CO2. Divide that by 40 and you average 275 pounds per year, or roughly 3/4 of a pound of CO2 per day.

What is tidal volume breathing?

Tidal volume breathing refers to the amount of air that enters and leaves the lungs during a single breath while at rest. It is typically around 500 mL for an average adult. Tidal volume is important for delivering oxygen to the body's tissues and removing carbon dioxide.


Whoes responsibility is it to regulate the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere?

Governments are primarily responsible for regulating the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere through policies, regulations, and international agreements. This is done to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, businesses and individuals also play a role in reducing their carbon footprint.


Does shallow breathing increase carbon dioxide levels in the blood?

Rate of respiration in normal adult is 15 to 20 minutes/ minute. They are not 'Deep' breathing. So shallow means how mush shallow and second is how often. If you take shallow breathing at normal rate then the answer is 'Yes'. If you take shallow breathing more often, then the answer is 'No'. But as level of carbon bi oxide increase in blood, it is the most powerful stimulant of respiration. Try holding the breathing for two/three minutes and then you will come to know what is the POWER of nature is.No body has ever died by holding the breathing willfully.


How trees save your environment?

The environmental benefits of trees are broad. Trees are anti-pollutants, carbon-sinks, air conditioners and balancing weights to the ecosystem. These benefits can be grouped into four.Atmospheric cleansing by absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) and releasing oxygen through photosynthesis.Storing carbon and keeping it out of the atmosphere. Half the weight of an adult tree is carbon.Water cycling - , trees maintain rainfall when their roots absorb water from the soil and is released it into the atmosphere.Prevent erosion and maintain the ecosystem.


Amount of RBC in human body?

The average adult human body contains about 20-30 trillion red blood cells (RBCs). These cells are responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body and removing carbon dioxide. RBCs make up nearly 40-45% of the total blood volume in a healthy individual.

What is the daily intake of carbon dioxide?

People use very little carbon dioxide in a day - a bit in carbonated beverages or some in afire extinguisher perhaps. However, most North Americans generate about 1 tonne a year (6 lb/day)


Fetal hemoglobin or hemoglobin F does not bind oxygen as well as adult hemoglobin hemoglobin A?

FalseAdult hemoglobin has less affinity for oxygen than fetal hemogloblin. That is why, as an adult female's blood passes BY the placenta, the oxygen diffusses into the fetal blood. Likewise, adult blood, having explelled the carbon dioxide during exhalation, has less concentration of carbon-dioxide than the fetal blood, so it diffuses out of fetal blood into the adult blood. That way, the fetus doesn't need respiration as an oxygen source, nor as a way to rid of waste and carbon dioxide.


What is the rate of carbon dioxide production?

You can find the rate of carbon dioxide production by doing an experiment to show the rate of carbon dioxide,You do this by counting the number of bubbles produced per minute.Increasing any key factor will increase the rate...

Is a mayfly a consumer or a producer?

Both, but it depends on what stage it is in. As a nymph it consumes algae and diatoms. As a last stage adult, it consumes nothing--the mouth is vestigial and digestive system is inflated with air.
