Nature does this very efficiently.
Green plant life absords CO2. In the plant under the process of photosynthesis, using UV light from the Sun, CO2 is broken down.
The Carbon (C) component remains in the plant as biomass, and the oxygen(O) component is released back into the atmosphere.
CO2 is energetically a very stable molecule. However, the plant environment and the energy from the UV light overcomes this energy barrier, and CO2 is broken down.
It is a silent reaction ; you do not hear it fizzing etc.,
It is a high rate of reaction because there is more oxygen in the atmosphere than CO2. and it only occurs during daylight hours , when the Sun is up, , thereby there is UV light.
For all the CO2 produced naturally and by mankind's industrial action, there is not much ( less that 1% ) in the atmosphere.
What else can I help you with?
What is oxygen consumed in breathing is converted to?
Oxygen consumed in breathing is converted to carbon dioxide during cellular respiration. This process takes place in the mitochondria of cells and produces energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) that can be used by the body.
What are the reacts in photosynthesis?
The reactants in photosynthesis are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). These substances are converted into glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) through the process of photosynthesis.
What does the air you breathe turn into?
When you breathe in oxygen, it is used by your body to generate energy through a process called cellular respiration. Oxygen is then converted into carbon dioxide, which is exhaled back into the atmosphere.
Why does the mass of carbon go down as it is heated in oxygen?
When carbon burns in oxygen, it forms carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. The carbon from the fuel combines with the oxygen from the air to produce this gas, leading to a decrease in the mass of the solid carbon as it is converted into a gaseous product.
Which oxygen is used to make food?
Plants use molecular oxygen (O2) from the air during the process of photosynthesis to make food. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide (CO2) is converted into glucose (sugar) and oxygen gas (O2) is released as a byproduct.
What substance needed by the body cells enters the body through the lungs?
O2 and Co2, but we breathe out the Co2 again + the O2 which is converted in more Co2
Do plants give out oxygen?
I think when they receive carbon dioxide
Why doesn't hydrogen create carbon dioxide when burnt?
Hydrogen is hydrogen, it can't be converted into co2 since it doesn't have carbon or oxygen.
Do cars produce CO2?
Yes. Cars burn up petrol, diesel, LPG and so forth. When burning hydrocarbons, they will react with oxygen to form water and CO2. Unfortunately this is not the case. Not all fuel is converted to CO2 and H2O. Some is converted to CO (carbon monoxide, very poisonouss) and some doesnt burn at all or is converted to a shorter chained hydrocarbon. Its the car exhaust catalyst's job to convert these (and other) substances to CO2.
How does crabgrass convert CO2?
The CO2 is absorbed through the blades and converted into carbon which is used in the growth of the blades and roots, and oxygen which is partly used in growth and partly released through the blades into the atmosphere.
What is oxygen consumed in breathing is converted to?
Oxygen consumed in breathing is converted to carbon dioxide during cellular respiration. This process takes place in the mitochondria of cells and produces energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) that can be used by the body.
What are the 3 reactants used in photosynthesis?
Water (H2O), sunlight & carbon dioxide (CO2)
How many moles of Co2 will be produced from the reaction of three moles of acetylene with excess oxygen?
Since acetylene (C2H2) has a stoichiometry of 2 moles of acetylene to produce 2 moles of CO2, three moles of acetylene would produce 3 moles of CO2. The reaction with excess oxygen ensures that all the acetylene is fully converted to CO2.
How is the introduction of carbon dioxide into a greenhouse is useful for plant's growth?
Plants feed on co2 the same way humans breathe oxygen. The co2 is converted to o2 through photosynthesis so by making co2 more abundant in the plants environment it's better for the plant though bad for organisms that require oxygen to live
What are found at the end of the air tubes at the end of the lung?
The two tubes are the Bronchili and these take air to the alveoli where oxygen is used up and converted into co2
How did primitive algae make it possible for other planets and animals to develop on earth?
Mainly by photosythesis that converted the CO2 in the poisonous early atmosphere, into oxygen.
What are glucose and oxygen converted into in aerobic respiration?
It really depends on if its aerobic(with oxygen) or anaerobic(without oxygen) respiration. In aerobic respiration carbon dioxide, water and energy are made In anaerobic respiration lactic acid and energy are made.
