Why can the Sun not produce heavier elements beyond carbon and oxygen?
The sun does not have enough mass or a hot enough core to fuse heavier elements such as carbon and oxygen.
Which organism gets its carbon from carbon dioxide?
Green plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and using energy from the sun separate the carbon from the oxygen. They release the oxygen to the atmosphere, and use the carbon.
What are the names of the products in photosynthesis chemical equation?
6CO2 + 6H20 ---(sun's energy)--> 1C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon Dioxide + Water ---(sun's energy)--> Glucose + Oxygen
Does grass give off oxygen?
YES!!! All GREEN Plant material gives off oxygen. Carbon dioxide is a heavy gas, and fall to the ground. Whereupon it is absorbed by green plant life. Then in the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide in broken down (decomposed) into oxygen and the carbon component remains in the plant as biomass. The oxygen is released back into the atmosphere, for animals to breath. It is part of the 'carbon' and 'oxygen' bio-chremical cycles on Earth. Photosynthesis, does not occur at night, when there is no UV light from the Sun.
Reactants and products of simplfied photosynthesis reaction?
the reactants are carbon dioxide and water and the products are glucose and oxygen
What gases makes up the sun?
The sun's atmosphere has mostly hydrogen gas. There are smaller amounts of other gases such as carbon, oxygen, neon, magnesium, nitrogen, silicon, helium and iron.
How many elements from the sun make up starch?
The elements of starch are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Will the sun become a giant diamond?
No. When the sun dies it will form an object called a white dwarf, made mostly of carbon and oxygen. A white dwarf is made of electron degenerate matter, a state of matter far denser than anything found on Earth.
What is sun carbon dioxide water oxygen?
glucose and oxygen
Does the gas in the sun have oxygen?
Only in a small amount. About 1% of the sun is oxygen. The sun is mostly hydrogen and helium.
An atmospheric gas made up of one carbon atom for each two oxygen atoms?
Carbon dioxide. One carbon for every two oxygen atoms means carbon dioxide. Plants take in water, carbon dioxide, and energy from the sun to produce glucose and oxygen during photosynthesis.
Why can the Sun not produce heavier elements beyond carbon and oxygen?
The sun does not have enough mass or a hot enough core to fuse heavier elements such as carbon and oxygen.
Does oxygen in the ocean come from the sun and the air?
no the oxygen from the ocean comes from two things algae and plants create oxygen through photosynthisis and water is made mostly of oxygen and a bit of hydrogen
Does sun give off oxygen in carbon cycle?
no
Where the energy in wood originally comes from?
The wood is made of organic carbon compounds produced when the tree grew, using carbon from the carbon dioxide CO2 in the atmosphere and energy from the Sun's light to split the carbon from the oxygen. When the wood is burnt the carbon is recombined with more oxygen from the atmosphere to produce more CO2, and the original energy which came from the Sun is then released as heat.

How does energy pass from the sun to the rice?
It happens by photosynthesis, in which carbon dioxide from the air is separated out into carbon, which is used to make the rice, and oxygen, which is mostly dumped into the atmosphere. Separating the carbon and the oxygen needs energy to break the chemical bonds between the atoms. That energy is recovered when the carbon is burned with oxygen, but that produces carbon dioxide as well, approximately as much as was absorbed in the first place.
