In the Carbon Cycle, it is said that dead animals can turn into fossil fuels. How does this process actually happen? What conditions need to be met?
Homework Answers
Answer
This is absolutely correct that dead animals can converted into fossil fuels in carbon cycle.In short atmospheric carbon di oxide taken by plants for photosynthesis process then these plants are eaten by animals so then carbon is circulated into the animal' body and Co2 goes into atmosphere through respiration process.when these animals and plants dead, decomposers decompose it and make organic matter that became part of the soil.Energy trapped with in the dead bodies of plant and animal becomes fossil fuels these dead plants and animal died and buried under water and dirt for long time as it remain for hundreds of millions of year.In the presence of heat and pressure dead material turned into fossil fuels. These fossil fuels used as combustion.On burning fossil fuel (oil ,coal and natural gases)gives CO2 to the atmosphere.

Only need question C answered
Problem 3 (5 marks): The advantage of fossil fuels is that a lot of energy can be transported in a small amount of mass. The disadvantage is that their combustion produces CO2 (a greenhouse gas). a) Calculate how much energy is recoverable by the combustion of 1 g of octane. In a hydrogen-based economy, H2 could be produced collected and compressed so that it could be transported and burned like fossil fuels in car engines....

11. The citric acid cycle begins with the formation of a 6-carbon (6C) molecule from joining the 4-carbon (4C) oxaloacetate and the 2-carbon (2C) acetyl group (see below). By about halfway through the cycle, two carbons have been lost as carbon dioxide and a 4C molecule labeled D is regenerated. List two reasons why the cycle does not stop after production of D and instead must continue through a series of different 4C intermediates 12. Which of the following statements...

When fossil fuels are burned, "particulate matter" including some small particles referred and to PM2.5s and even smaller particles can be produced. There was a recently published study showing how these small particles get into the bloodstream and "lodge" in small blood vessels in the head and neck. (a) What would you anticipate happening? To get you thinking in the right direction, the textbook discusses plaques and thrombus formation on pg. 698-9 (ed. 2). (b) If this affects blood vessels...

You will establish whether or not current global fossil fuel combustion CO_2 emissions can offset by planting trees? If all cropland was covered with slow-growing trees, how much fossil fuel CO_2 emissions can you offset? How much with fast-growing trees? What happens when you use fast-growing trees on all arable land? Is this realistic? If this were to be done, what other issues would you need to consider? Some key factoids: The surface of the Earth is 5 times 10^14...

6. The cells of some organisms other than animals and yeast (such as bacteria) carry out fermentation using molecules other than pyruvate, which are similarly reduced as pyruvate is. What is the goal of fermentation and why is the reduction of some molecule (whether it be pyruvate or some other molecule) important to achieve this goal? What would happen if the organism is unable to carry out this fermentation? 7. You want to study the enzymes that function in glycolysis,...
