Which property of CO2 makes it biologically and geo-Chemically important?
Updated On: Apr 20, 2024
- Its low solubility in water
- Its acidic nature
- Its high compressibility
- Its colourless and odourless nature
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The correct property of CO2 that makes it biologically and geochemically important is its low solubility in water, which allows it to easily diffuse across cell membranes and be transported in various biological and geochemical processes. So option (A) is correct.
