Carbon dioxide is converted to sugar using ATP and NADPH. This process is known as carbon fixation or the Calvin cycle. Carbon dioxide is combined with a 5-carbon sugar creating a 6-carbon sugar. The 6-carbon sugar is eventually broken-down into two molecules, glucose and fructose. These two molecules make sucrose or sugar.
Carbon is used in photosynthesis as part of carbon dioxide, which is one of the reactants needed in photosynthesis. Without carbon, this process cannot occur.
Carbon is used to make sugars in the "carbon fixation" step of the carbon cycle, which occurs during photosynthesis in plants. During this process, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is converted into organic sugars, which are used for energy and growth by plants.
6 CO2 + 6H2O + energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2 so gas used is carbon dioxide and gas produced is oxygen
Plants acquire carbon dioxide for photosynthesis through tiny openings on their leaves called stomata. These stomata allow carbon dioxide from the air to enter the plant and be used in the process of photosynthesis.
process that is the basis of the carbon cycle
During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide enters a plant through small openings called stomata on the leaves. The carbon dioxide is then absorbed by the plant's cells and used in the process of photosynthesis to produce glucose and oxygen.
Calvin Cycle
The process that takes part in cycling carbon in living plants is photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into glucose, which is then used for energy and growth. This process helps to regulate the amount of carbon in the atmosphere and is a key component of the carbon cycle.
The waste products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water. These products can be used by plants in the process of photosynthesis to produce glucose and oxygen.
Photosynthesis is the chemical process that uses light to process carbon dioxide in plants.

In this process, the spheres interacting are the biosphere (plants) and the atmosphere (carbon dioxide). Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into glucose through photosynthesis, utilizing the carbon in the process.
