How does carbon dioxide enter a plant?Photosynthesis:Photosynthesis is the process by which a photosynthetic cell (e.g. in a plant) takes in water and carbon dioxide and yields glucose sugar and molecular oxygen. Respiration, in humans for instance, conversely yields carbon dioxide and water (...
Why is this important? Cannabis plants go from seed to death in Spring to Fall, and have a certain order for their life stages. This is very important for you to understand as a grower. A plant will keep growing vegetatively (just stems and leaves) as long as the plant “believes” ...
That is debatable, but what is certain is that you CAN plant a garden that helps support wildlife and locks down carbon in the soil, saves water and food miles, and produces vegetables that are more health giving than the usual store bought version. ...
One is a special device called Bio-KES which converts ethylene into carbon dioxide and water using ultraviolet light. Ethylene causes plants to ripen and eventually spoil. A device like Bio-KES, used in food storage units and display cases, could help increase the shelf life of produce, ...
Plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in a process called carbon sequestration. The carbon dioxide is stored in biomass then released by the plant. In most cases, the amount released is less than the amount consumed by the plant. Farms, grasslands and forests are considered sources or...
I'm fairly new to chemistry, and I have a hard time understanding how chemical energy is stored in carbon (I'm aware that the question can be generalised to 'how is chemical energy stored', but I'm trying to understand it in the example of carbon). In the example in my book, carbo...
How do sphagnum mosses contribute to the carbon cycle? How do plants control transpiration? How can the carbon in sediments reach the atmosphere? Why do plants go through transpiration? How is carbon stored in the lithosphere? How do plants adapt to a temperate forest? How does soil enable ca...
DHL’s GoGreen Plus solution enables businesses to reduce the carbon emissions associated with their shipments through the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel – a biofuel that is produced from renewable sources such as vegetable oils, animal fats, waste products, and agricultural crops....
Holiday shipping solutions to reduce your carbon footprint This peak season, sustainable logistics is in the spotlight, with consumers watching the actions of brands closely. But can your business really act sustainably whilst meeting increased demand and tighter turnaround times? ...
Life on Earth is carbon based. All of the organic molecules we use contain the element carbon. It is incredibly versatile and important to living things. Carbon is found in carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Without carbon, life on Earth would probably not exist....
