The production of one molecule of glucose needs 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 6 molecules of water and some light energy. To make 4 molecules thus we'd need 24 carbon dioxides, 24 waters, and four times as much energy. Chlorophyll must also be present.

What will happen if plants do not get carbon dioxide?
If plants don't get carbon dioxide, they won't be able to take water from the soil to get sugar from sunlight; this sugar is called "Glucose" which is food for a plant, and plants need sugar so they can break it down to get the energy that they need to avoid wilting. Carbon dioxide enters the plant through the leaves and comes back out of the plant as oxygen from the water in the soil, and the carbon dioxide turns into sugar
If a membrane was not permeable to sugars why would it probably also not be permeable to starch molecules?
If a membrane is permeable to a substance, it means that there are gaps/holes/pores in the membrane large enough for that substance to pass through. Starch molecules are bigger that sugar molecules. So if the membrane is not permeable to sugars, the gaps/holes/pores will not be big enough for starch molecules to pass through either.
Adding external protrusions to a wing (such as fuel pods water tanks and missiles) would be useful but what could one drawback be?
It can weaken the wing, it creates additional drag, and will produce a larger radar reflection.
If halogen atoms replaced hydrogen atoms in the molecules would the geometry of the molecules change?

What happens if a plant doesnt get enough oxygen?
If plants did not spread oxygen then the people would die off. We as human beings need oxygen to live. Plants need Carbon Dioxide. We give off Carbon Dioxide for them to breath in and they breath out oxygen which we breath in. so really plants and humans play important roles in eachothers life and wouldn't survive without each other. - Ashley barba
How does sugar keep cut flowers alive?
Sugar contains glucose, so the plant can use it as a substitute for the glucose it would normally produce through photosynthesis.
Why would a plant store sugar and where would it store it?
Try this : Sugar is (one of) the main product of photosynthesis. It is used by all of the cells of the plant for energy and for synthesis of other molecules. Plants usually store sugars as starch, but not all of it. Sugar is specifically stored as sugar in fruits and flowers as bait to entice the spreading of seeds and/or pollen.
What would happen if glycolsis did not happen in a cell?
If glycolysis could not happen in a cell, the cell would not produce ATP molecules.
How is paper made of plant?
The leaves of trees take carbon dioxide and water and make sugar. Trees take sugar molecules and combine them to make starch. They take starch molecules and make even bigger molecules. They paste those molecules together. Tall trees consist of many molecules of different sizes pasted together. Factories remove part of the glue in wood in trees and turn trees into long chain molecules. They can take these long chain molecules and lay them flat and thin and they produce paper.
Why might plant storage organs (such as fruit or tuber) contain both starch and sugar?
Starch and sugar are essentially the same thing. Starch is a polymer (chain) of single sugar molecules. As the starch is made up or broken down, you would expect to find both in the cells responsible for this action.
Which light would you predict would produce the greenest plant?
Sunlight
Does sugar dissolve quicker in salt water or soapy water?
Sugar would dissolve faster in soapy water. Sugar dissolving is actually the sugar molecules bonding with the water molecules. In salt water, sodium has already bonded with the water molecules, leaving no room for more bonding with sugar molecules. Soap, on the other hand, is a very mild base. It isn't so much a bonded element with water as it is a mixture. All of the water molecules are still available for bonding with sugar.
How much can photosynthesis produce every day?
How much WHAT? It can't produce ANY brownies, but can produce energy storing molecules in plants The energy synthesis would vary depending on the size, and type of plant, it's overall health, the availability of CO2 and water, and the amount & intensity of the light it was exposed to.
What happens when fresh grapes are kept in concentrated sugar solution?
In brief: Plants produce glucose through photosynthesis. Sugar is a form of glucose. Adding sugar water to a plant does, in the short term offer small benefits as the plant is able to absorb small amount of glucose instead of using photosynthesis to produce it. Long term use of sugar water on plants will result in the death of the plant! To much sugar in the soil solution prevents or hampers osmosis, resulting in ineffective water and nutrient uptake by the plant. This results in discolouration, stunting, wilting and eventually death. Damage to the root system can be compounded as sugar offers a very good medium for fungal and bacterial colonies to develop in the soil, which my further damage a weakened root system.
What will happen if you water plants with ice tea?
Stick to water since the plant builds its own sugar from the elements. adding other molecules may contribute harmful ones Stick to water since the plant builds its own sugar from the elements. adding other molecules may contribute harmful ones
What would happen if there would be no ovary on a plant?
They could not produce seeds which is for reproduction.
How could you expect the bacterium to move?
it would move to where there is a higher concentration of sugar molecules
