The Calvin cycle refers to the chemical reactions that take place in a plant overnight. During this process, carbon dioxide molecules are bonded together with the electrons and hydrogens from NADPH to form glucose.
Carbon dioxide is relatively inert, pretty much nothing happens to it in the atmosphere. Actually, about 1% of it is absorbed by marine cyanobacteria or by trees in the process of photosynthesis, by which plants take up carbon and release diatomic oxygen (O2). Another small amount combines with atmospheric hydrogen to form carbonic acid, which when absorbed by raindrops slightly increases ocean acidity.
Most of the more than 40 billion tons humans release into the atmosphere each year simply accumulates there. Because CO2 is a heat trapping gas, this accumulation leads to a very gradual increase in earth's temperature.
In the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide molecules (CO2) are combined with each other and with the electrons and H's from NADPH to form glucose (C6H12O6)
Plants take it in and let out oxygen and glucose
Carbon dioxide combine with Rubisco enzymes to recycle continuously.
they become oxygen
They become Oxygen
The Carbon in Glucose made by plants comes from the Carbon in the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas in the air.
The carbon dioxide in the air that the plant takes in through it's stomata.
The 3 materials needed for photosynthesis are water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight. These 3 materials combined enable the plant to make a sugary substance known as glucose. 6 molecules of water+6 molecules of carbon dioxide=1 molecule of sugar+6 molecules of oxygen* *=The plant doesn't need the oxygen so it releases it into the air. That's how we get our oxygen. :)
This happens because the equilibrium between carbonic acid and carbon dioxide shifts to produce carbon dioxide.
do autotrophs remove carbon dioxide from the air
Air contains 0.93 % Argon In a million molecules of air there would be 1,000,000 x 0.93/100 = 9300 molecules of Argon
air molecules are , nitrogen , oxygen, and carbon dioxide mosly nitrogen (75%)
