What is the recipe for how to make sugar?
Sugar can be made only by organisms like plants and bacteria that can do photosynthesis. Despite the very synthetic, manmade appearance of table sugar, this crystalline powder is made very simply from plants like sugarcane or sugarbeets. The plants are crushed, the juice squeezed out, filtered, and the liquid is boiled away, leaving sugar. It is possible for an organic chemist to make sugar but its expensive, delicate, difficult, and time-consuming. So there is no such thing as a "sugar factory" where sugar is actually made from scratch. We depend totally on plants.
Do plants need sugar in fertilizers?
No, plants can make their own sugars by photosynthesis. The purpose of fertilizers is to provide elements such as nitrogen which the plant cannot take in from air or water.
What are three elements that make sugar?
The three elements are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Sugar is a carbohydrate.
Plants make sugar by?
Plants make sugar by photosynthesis. Most plants make there own sugar from sunight, air and material absorbed from the ground by the roots. The sugar is used to help the plant grow and flourish. We extract the sugar from the plants for our own use. Examples are common cane sugar from the sugar cane plant, beet sugar from beets, wheat sugar (dextrose), and from corn we get corn sweeteners.
What liquid do plants need for photosynthesis?
Sugars consist of the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Plants produce sugar from those elements absorbed by their leaves and roots from carbon compounds and water, and with the help of chlorophyll as a catalyst.
What elements make up elements of sugar?
Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen are the only elements that make up sugars.
What Countries make Sugar?
I know that Fiji has sugar plants
What are the elements that make up sugar?
Sugar (sucrose) = C6H12O6, so the 3 elements are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
What elements to make sugar?
silocon and calcium
Is glucose made of light?
Umm...? Where did you hear this? But anyways no it is not it is sugar and plants with light can make glucose during photosynthesis.
What can't plants photosynthesize?
Photosynthesis produces sugar. That is all. Sugar can be used to make complex carbohydrates such as starch or cellulose, but photosynthesis only makes sugar. It does not make anything else. Protein, for example, is not made by photosynthesis.
How do people make sugar and What do they do?
It is extracted from plants, either sugar cane or sugar beet.
