On the leaf (usually the underside), there are openings called the stoma (plural stomata). Gas exchange occurs at these stomata: CO2 diffuses into the openings and O2 and water diffuses out (during the day). To prevent the plant losing too much water, the stomata openings can be closed by special guard cells that surround them, regulating transpiration and also thereby the temperature of the leaf.
Some plants, such as cacti, take in and store carbon dioxide at night, and store it as weak acids. This makes the plant more efficient since it limits the exposure of plant enzymes to oxidation. However, these plants still give off copious oxygen during the day.

How do plants obtain carbon?
they obtain carbon by humans and organisms, etc.
Where do plants get carbon to make glucose?
the air is constantly getting in and out of the water.
What comes out of your mouth that will positively help plants?
The gas that comes out of your mouth that will help plants is carbon dioxide. Plants use carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the air.
During photosynthesis plants use what as a carbon source to produce sugars for energy?
The Carbon source for photosynthesis is the air
What do plants remove from the air during photosynthesis?
Plants remove carbon dioxide during photosynthesis!
How plants obtain carbon dioxide?
Through the air
How do plants obtain carbon?
they obtain carbon by humans and organisms, etc.
Where do plants get the carbon needed for carbohydrate production?
They obtain it from carbon dioxide in the air through photosynthesis.
How does plants get the carbon dioxide?
Plants get carbon dioxide from the air we exhale. We breath out carbon dioxide and plants give us oxygen. So when we breath oxygen the air that we exhale is carbon dioxide that goes to plants.
What is the carbon dioxide?
carbon dioxide is a air which comes from the plants
Why isn't carbon in fertilizers?
Plants obtain the carbon that they need in the form of carbon dioxide from the air, not from the soil. Even if carbon were added to fertiliser plants would be unable to make use of it.
What happens to carbon in the short term carbon cycle?
In the short-term cycle, plants convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates. Organisms eat the plants and obtain carbon, and then release it back into the air as carbon dioxide. Carbon is also released through wastes and decay of their remains.
Why is carbon dioxide present in the air?
Carbon dioxide is present in the air because plants need carbon dioxide to make food and without carbon dioxide plants would die and eventually the rest of the food chain.
Do farmers need to use fertilizer that contain carbon?
No, farmers do not have to fertilize with carbon, because plants obtain carbon, in the form of carbon dioxide, from the air, so they always have enough.
How do plants obtain the carbon dioxide they need for photosythesis?
through diffusion of air through the open stomata on the peripheri of leaves
Plants obtain the carbon used in the manufacture of organic compounds from?
Photosynthesis require carbon dioxide, although carbon is naturally needed by all organisms.
How does plants get carbon if they can't get it from fertilizers?
From the air. Carbon dioxide.
