Water and carbon dioxide in leaves combine to make what?
They combine to make sugars & starches and give off oxygen as a waste product
What 2 process can photosynthesis be separated into?
The taking in of sunlight to make sugars and starches & the taking in of carbon dioxide and the giving out of oxygen.
Why carbon dioxide is important for photosynthesis?
It's important to all life. Starting with plants there is a chain. Plants fix carbon dioxide into starches and sugars during photosynthesis. They use the energy of light to make CO2 and water into sugars. We animals need them to do that so that we can have food and get energy. We digest the sugars and starches produced by plants, in our gut, and that feeds our cells.
What atoms make up carbohydrate?
Carbon, Hydrogen, and oxygen atoms make up carbohydrates. EXAMPLES A. Starches and sugars are examples of carbohydrates. B. Living things use them as their main source of energy. D. Plants and some animals use them for strength and rigidity.
What are the biomolecules of carbohydrates?
A "carbohydrate" is any molecule with a carbon backbone and an empirical formula of Cm(H2O)n, that is, consists only of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen - with the last two generally in an atomic ratio of 2:1. Common types of carbohydrates include (but are not limited to) sugars, starches, cellulose, and chitin. More broadly, the term "carbohydrates" is often used to refer to any food that is rich in starches or sugars.

What 2 process can photosynthesis be separated into?
The taking in of sunlight to make sugars and starches & the taking in of carbon dioxide and the giving out of oxygen.
What do plants use during photosynthesis to make sugars and starches?
Plants use carbon dioxide and water and produce glucose and oxygen in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
What does a plant make a food?
Carbohydrates such as starches and sugars like glucose and fructose, for example.
How can producers make their own food?
They use light energy from the sun to combine carbon dioxide and water into simple sugars, which are fuel/food for their cells. This process is photosynthesis.

Where do producers get the carbon dioxide they need to make food?
Producers get the carbon dioxide that they need to make food from the consumers. Consumers and producers swap the gasses that they need to survive.
What is photosenthesis?
process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbs such as sugars and starches
What atoms make up carbohydrate?
Carbon, Hydrogen, and oxygen atoms make up carbohydrates. EXAMPLES A. Starches and sugars are examples of carbohydrates. B. Living things use them as their main source of energy. D. Plants and some animals use them for strength and rigidity.
Are ribosomes active in carbohydrate synthesis?
No, ribosomes make protein from mRNA. Sugars and starches are made by smaller enzymes
How do producers make the energy from the sunlight available to the rest of the ecosystem?
They use light energy from the sun to combine carbon dioxide and water into simple sugars, which are fuel/food for their cells. This process is photosynthesis.
How do producers use the waste products of respiration?
They add hydrogen (from water) to make sugars.
