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.
Does helium produce carbon dioxide?
No, helium does not produce carbon dioxide. Helium is an inert gas and does not react chemically with other substances to produce carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is produced from the combustion of carbon-containing compounds.
How does plankon function?
Plankton takes in carbon dioxide from the sea and stores it in its body. When plankton dies, it still has the carbon dioxide inside it, so has removed some of the problem from the ocean (problem for us). Without plankton, there'd be a lot more carbon dioxide and global warming would be worse.
How can plankton help combat global warming?
Plankton may absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
What are microscopic ocean plants that absorb carbon dioxide?
Plankton
Do fire produce carbon dioxide?
Yes, forest fires do produce carbon dioxide.
What does cellular respiration play in the carbon cycle?
Animals produce carbon dioxide. Animals produce carbon dioxide
Do plankton have any requirements for life?
Water, Carbon Dioxide, and Sunlight.
Does lactic acid fermentation produce carbon dioxide?
No, lactic acid fermentation does not produce carbon dioxide.
What is the role for carbon dioxide on this earth?
We would die without carbon dioxide - carbon dioxide is essential to the production of oxygen! Trees and green plants ingest carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; plankton and green algae from the salt water (including ocean) or fresh water they live in. These green things produce oxygen as part of the process of photosynthesis. Oxidation produces some carbon dioxide, too, but the net effect is to give off less carbon dioxide, and produce more oxygen than they use. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere forms part of the greenhouse effect, which, if its levels are not disturbed, keeps the earth pleasantly warm enough for life.
Can carbon dioxide come from fire?
Yes. Burning carbon or a carbon compound will produce carbon dioxide.
How does a candle produce carbon dioxide while it burns?
Any burning (oxidation reaction) produce carbon dioxide.
