Well, to start off, neither glucose nor oxygen are needed to perform photosynthesis.
They are both, in fact, byproducts of this process. During photosynthesis, glucose is made and used as a food source for plants. The oxygen is given off as a waste product. Photosynthesis does need some very important substances. One of which is Sunlight. Another is Water. But the third factor is Carbon Dioxide, not oxygen. Without these things, the plant could not survive.

How much is 6co2 6h2o c6H1206 602?
The reaction 6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2 is the chemical equation for photosynthesis. In this reaction, carbon dioxide and water are transformed into glucose and oxygen gas with the input of energy. This is the reaction that allows plants to be autotrophs, as the glucose produced can be used as a source of energy.
How much nitrogen is needed to make glucose?
There is no nitrogen in glucose.
How is light important in photosynthesis and the production of glucose?
Glucose is a sugar molecule. Much like what glucose does for your body, plants metabolize glucose to create CO2 water and energy. respiration: H20+C6H12O6=>H20+CO2+ATP(energy)
Why do yeast cells consume glucose much more slowly if oxygen is present than absent?
why do yeast cells consume glucose much more slowly when oxygen is present than when oxygen is absent
Is photosynthesis the reason the atmosphere is rich in oxygen gas?
No, Photosynthesis is where plants turn sunlight into food, the plants respiration (breathing) is why there is so much oxygen, as it converts the carbon dioxide we breathe out into oxygen.
What is raw materials of photosynthesis?
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy --> C6H12O6 + 6 O2. Carbon dioxide + water + light energy --> Glucose + Oxygen.

What component of the earths atmosphere exists as a result of photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide into oxygen. Therefore, much of the oxygen in our atmosphere is present due to photosynthesis.
Why do plants need to carry out respiration and photosynthesis?
They need photosynthesis(1) and Respiration(2) because (1) They make use of carbon dioxide and sunlight to make glucose(sugar(food)). Excess glucose is stach and it is like our fats (2) Respiration is needed for breaking down glucose/starch for food. (1)-> CO2,light&water--------Photosynthesis------->O2&glucose (2)-> O2------------Respiration---------->CO2 Oxygen->O2 Crabon dioxide->CO2
How do you rate photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is much needed for life. It is the process making food.

What is the name of an respiratory cell?
Cellular respiration is the process of turning oxygen and glucose into water, energy, and carbon dioxide inside cells. This process is the exact opposite process of photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, water, energy, and carbon dioxide are turned into oxygen and glucose inside chloroplasts. Plant cells also have mitochondria, so photosynthesis and cellular respiration both occur in plants. Cellular Respiration (Breathing) C6H12O6 + O2 => H2O + CO2 + Energy (Released during process) glucose(sugar)+oxygen => water+carbon dioxide + energy Photosynthesis: H2O + CO2 + Energy (From Sun) => O2 + C6H12O6 water +carbon dioxide+energy=>Oxygen+glucose(sugar)
Is photosynthesis the reason the atmosphere is rich in oxygen gas?
No, Photosynthesis is where plants turn sunlight into food, the plants respiration (breathing) is why there is so much oxygen, as it converts the carbon dioxide we breathe out into oxygen.
How respiration and photosynthesis are opposite from each other?
Photosynthesis is when plants absorb things to create food, and respiration is when the food is used to create energy. Let me show you: Equation for Photosynthesis: Carbon dioxide + Water (goes to) or = Glucose + Oxygen Equation for Respiration: Glucose + Oxygen (goes to) or = Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy
How much oxygen is depleted annually?
None. It remains balanced thanks to photosynthesis.
