4 0

The main source of carbon dioxide in an ecosystem is the carbon dioxide gas present in the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide is used by the  plants and animals in different ways.

The plants use this carbon dioxide to perform the process of photosynthesis.This is carried out by the help of green pigment called chlorophyll that absorbs light from the sun, water from soil and carbon dioxide from atmosphere.

The carbon in animals comes when they eat these plants.

What is the difference between nutation and barycenter?
lukranit [14]

Generally speaking, precession is believed to <u>occur as a result of the gravitational forces exerted by the sun and moon as they revolve around the earth.</u> When an object revolves, its axis of rotation exhibits a nodding or swish motion. There is a wobble in the movement of precession. This phenomenon is caused by the gravitational pull exerted by one body upon another, resulting in nutation.

Hope this helps :)

all plants give out oxygen during day and carbon dioxide during night. Do you agree with this statement. Give reason
Citrus2011 [14]

This statement is incomplete.

"All plants give out oxygen during day and carbon dioxide during night"

Explanation :

Photosynthesis occurs only during day time.

During this time oxygen is produced . Some oxygen is used for respiration and rest of oxygen is diffused out into air.

Carbon dioxide produced during day time by respiration is used in photosynthesis.

But at night time, no photosynthesis occurs  and hence no oxygen is produced oxygen from air diffuses into leaves to carry out respiration and carbon dioxide produced by respiration diffuses out into air.

Hence Respiration occurs day and night .. Hence Carbon dioxide  is emitted  all the time....
