- Grass
…… and …… release O2 into the atmosphere
- algae
- plants
what 5 gasses were found on earths early atmosphere
- carbon dioxide
- amonia
- oxeygen
- nitorgen
- water vapour
How was the early earths atmosphere probably formed
Volcanic action
why do scientist suggest there was no life on early earth
Because the volcanoes made earth to hot
how did the level of oxygen increase .
because carbon dioxide was absorbed by several sources such as : carbonate rocks , ocean
what % of nitrogen is there in the current atmosphere
80 %
3 ways carbon dioxide in early atmosphere was reduced
The ocean absorbed it by algae then the carbonat rocks absrbed it more decreasing the levels rapidly
What percentage of nitrogn and oxygn in the present day earths atmosphere?
80% nitrogen
20% oxygen
balanced symbol equation for photosynthesis
6co2 + 6H2o - C6H12O6 + 6O2
balanced word equation for photosynthesis
carbon dioxide + water - Glucouse + oxygen
