What are greenhouse gasses? How does carbon dioxide enter the atmosphere? (Site 1)

Physics

Luden [163]2 years ago

Answer and explanation:

Greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, water vapor, fluorinated gases, nitrous oxide, methane, and others. Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere by respiration of plants, animals, and microbes. Plants also remove carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. The net result is that plants remove more carbon dioxide than they contribute. Microbes and fungi that decompose plants and animals also return the carbon to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. These are all ways nature cycles carbon. Humans contribute carbon dioxide to the atmosphere when we burn wood, solid waste, and fossil fuels. When forests are burned to clear land, not only does the burning release carbon dioxide, but it eliminates trees that would otherwise be removing carbon dioxide by photosynthesis. Most of the human contribution is from burning fossil fuels in electrical power plants that burn coal or natural gas and in vehicles that run on petroleum products. Other industrial processes also contribute carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, but to a lesser extent.

Answer:

greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range

Explanation:

Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.

Read the following excerpt about water availability to living organisms.
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

1 percent

Explanation:

It says that only 3 percent of the water is fresh. So it can be 1 percent or 3 percent. But then it says that most of the water is locked up in glaciers and polar ice caps. So the animals would have a hard time getting to this water. So the rest is available for them. Approximately 1 percent is most reasonable.

Which of the following woud be expected to have the greatest impact on primary productivity?
leonid [27]

Answer: C solar energy

Solar energy has the greatest  impact on primary productivity.

Explanation:

Primary productivity  is the amount of organic compounds synthesized from carbon dioxide. Primary production occurs by the process of photosynthesis. Since the process of photosynthesis uses sunlight as the energy source solar energy has the greatest impact on primary productivity.

The synthesis can occur in atmosphere as well as aquatic environment. The organisms that perform the function of primary production are called producers .In terrestrial regions plants are the producers and in aquatic systems algae are the  primary producers.
