How are land, air, water and living things impacted by too much carbon dioxide?

Biology
1 answer:
choli [55]3 years ago

Answer:

- In terrestrial environments: increasing CO2 levels cause an increased photosynthetic rate

- In aquatic environments: increasing CO2 levels cause an increase in water acidity  

- In both terrestrial and aquatic environments: increasing CO2 levels lead to an overall increase in the average temperature (global warming)

Explanation:

In terrestrial ecosystems, rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels increase the rate of photosynthesis (since CO2 is one of the reactants in photosynthesis), thereby also increasing plant growth. Moreover, in aquatic ecosystems, rising CO2 concentrations increase the levels of this gas dissolved on the surface of the oceans. This increases the acidity of the oceans, thereby modifying habitats and food web structures. The increasing acidity of the oceans also reduces the amounts of carbonate, which difficult for aquatic species (e.g., corals) to form their shells/skeletons. Finally, CO2 is a greenhouse gas that contributes to the increase in the average temperature by absorbing solar radiation that would otherwise have been reflected by the Earth's surface, and this increase in the temperature negatively affects life in both terrestrial and aquatic environments.

Answer:

A. It decreases the activation energy needed to start the reaction

Explanation:

Organic catalyst which speed up the rate of organic chemical reaction is living cells are called enzymes.They have specific reaction site called active sites.This must be in prefect shape with the substrate for the organic chemical reaction to take place

When this occurs the minimum amount of  energy of  reaction to  activate or stimulate  the the atoms and molecules of the substrate to undergo chemical reaction is  lowered.This energy of reaction is celled activation energy.

Catalase thought its active sites lowers the activation energy so that the molecules of H2O2 could break down to C02 and H2 faster,thereby reducing the time for theses product to form.The is the general roles of enzyme.To increase the rate of chemical reaction,by reducing the activation  energy.

In, addition to water, what would most likely be found in a plant central vacuole?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The correct answer would be c) food molecules.

A vacuole is a membrane-bound cell organelle present usually in the center of the plant cell.

It contains a high amount of water as it plays important role in maintaining the turgor pressure of the cell.

In addition, it contains a high amount of ions (such as K⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺), food molecules (such as glucose, sucrose, fructose), organic acids (such as malic, tartaric, quinic) and waste material.
