What two carbon compounds are recycled in the carbon and oxygen cycles?
carbon dioxide and sugar
Plants combine carbon dioxide and water to make what?
Sugar and oxygen.
How is oxygen and carbon dioxide made?
WARNING: Do this over a sink because it may get messy. Pour baking soda into a container (any type would be fine) and then pour vinegar SLOWLY. The container would start to bubble up very quickly. Then, quickly pour the bubbles into another container, but do NOT touch the lid. VOILA a container of carbon dioxide.
How oxygen is returned to the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are absorbed by plants. A plant separates the oxygen from the carbon, uses the carbon for growth material and releases the oxygen into the atmosphere.
How might you use a radioactive isotope to find out whether the oxygen in carbon dioxide comes from sugar or oxygen gas?
Radiolabel the sugar oxygens, then carry out the reaction and see if the carbon dioxide that's released is radioactive or not. Alternatively, you could use radioactive oxygen gas.
Does photosynthesis take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere?
No, Cellular Respiration returns carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere: Photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Light Energy -> Sugar + Oxygen Cellular Respiration: Sugar + Oxygen -> C.R. -> Carbon Dioxide + Water
What is the source of oxygen gas released by a photo system?
The oxygen produced in photosynthesis is derived from the carbon dioxide the organism combines with water. The chemical reaction is driven by energy derived from light. The products of the reaction are oxygen and sugar, and the reaction isn't too difficult to understand. It looks like this:6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2The carbon dioxide and water will, driven by the energy of light, chemically react to form sugar and oxygen.
Why do cells nee food?
For cellular respiration. Food is full of glucose (sugar) and when it combines with oxygen it produces energy. Here is the equation: oxygen + glucose --> carbon dioxide + water + energy
What two carbon compounds are recycled in the carbon and oxygen cycles?
carbon dioxide and sugar
Which two carbon compounds are recycled in the carbon and oxygen cycles?
Carbon dioxide and sugar
What gas do organism need for cellular respiration?
carbon dioxide
What is the equation for photosnthesis?
carbon dioxide + water ---> sugar + oxygen
How do plants get their sugar?
Photosynthesis Carbon dioxide + water in the presence of light -> sugar + oxygen
Do plants produce sugar water and oxygen during photosynthesis?
water and carbon dioxide
Is cells a product of respiration?
no, cells are just cells. the products of respiration are carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis (day time) carbon dioxide+water=oxygen+sugar, glucose Respiration (night time) oxygen+glucose, sugar=carbon dioxide+water
Which molecules involved in photosynthesis and respiration contain carbon?
Carbon dioxide in cellular respiration CO2 And in photosynthesis Oxygen
What are the energy changes when icing sugar burns?
carbon dioxide
