Yes, the oceans remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Because there are high levels of this greenhouse gas the oceans are becoming more acidic. This is damaging corals and preventing shellfish build strong shells.

Does carbon dioxide melt ice?

No, ice melts carbon dioxide


Where does carbon dioxide pass to come out?

Carbon dioxide passes from the bloodstream into the alveoli in the lungs. During respiration, it is transported from the body's tissues to the lungs via the blood. Once in the alveoli, carbon dioxide is expelled from the body when we exhale.


What it is called when carbon dioxide moves into the leaves of plants?

The process by which carbon dioxide moves into the leaves of plants is called carbon dioxide diffusion. In this process, carbon dioxide enters the plant through small openings on the underside of the leaves called stomata. Once inside the leaf, the carbon dioxide is used in photosynthesis to produce carbohydrates for the plant's energy needs.


Why plant can take in the same molecule of carbon dioxide more than once?

Carbon dioxide is biologically recycled. Plants make sugar with it, by means of photosynthesis, and then animals may eat that plant or the part of the plant that contains the sugar, and they metabolize the sugar and produce carbon dioxide as a waste product, which gets exhaled into the air. Plants can then absorb that same carbon dioxide molecule from the air, and use it to make sugar again. There is no limit to the number of times that this can be repeated.


Carbon dioxide enters bloodstream through the air sacs?

Yes, carbon dioxide diffuses from the alveoli in the lungs into the bloodstream. This gas exchange occurs due to differences in partial pressures of carbon dioxide between the alveoli and the blood. Once in the bloodstream, carbon dioxide is transported to the lungs to be exhaled out of the body.

How much carbon dioxide is produced by the ocean?

The oceans are regarded as carbon dioxide sinks, not sources. This means they remove carbon dioxide, not produce it. Carbon dioxide dissolves from the air into ocean water. Once there it is removed by plankton and algae, by corals and mollusks in making shells, and by chemical action.


Why does carbon dioxide escape from fizzy drinks?

Air bubbles containing carbon dioxide rise to the surface of the drink once the bubbles pop, they release the carbon dioxide.


When will a carbonated beverage contain the most carbon dioxide?

If we are talking about a can or bottle that you buy at the store, it has the most carbon dioxide before you open it; once it is opened, carbon dioxide will steadily leak away. Every bubble contains carbon dioxide that is no longer dissolved in the beverage.

How does carbon dioxide get transported to and from the cells?

Carbon dioxide is transported from cells to the lungs mostly in the form of bicarbonate ions dissolved in plasma. Once in the lungs, carbon dioxide is released from the bicarbonate ions and exhaled. Small amounts of carbon dioxide are also transported bound to hemoglobin or dissolved in plasma.


Why is carbon dixiode a waste for animals?

Carbon dioxide is a waste for animals because it is expelled during the respiration process. Animals take in Oxygen, and once it is processed in their body, Carbon dioxide is released.


How does the plant use carbon dioxide once it has brought it into its cells?

Plants use carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. This helps the plant create food. When there is plenty of carbon dioxide, the plant leaves will partially close their stomates and conserve water.


Is coal recyclable?

Coal can not be recycled. Once it's burnt, it's just ash, carbon and carbon dioxide.


Is mixing carbon dioxide with yeast irreversible?

Mixing carbon dioxide with yeast to create fermentation is reversible in the sense that the process can be stopped and the components (yeast and carbon dioxide) can be separated. However, once the yeast consumes the sugars and produces the carbon dioxide, this chemical reaction cannot be undone to revert back to the original state.
