What is the journey from the air to a chip on a plate of a carbon?

Carbon exists in the air primarily in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2). It is absorbed into plant leaves and used as an ingredient for the synthesis of sugar by means of photosynthesis. If that plant leaf happens to be part of a potato plant, then the sugar may make its way to the root, where it can be transformed into a carbohydrate, and then when farmers dig up the potato, they sell it to a chip factory where it becomes part of a chip which gets sold to a consumer who puts it on a plate, voila.

Do autotrophs remove carbon dioxide from the air?
do autotrophs remove carbon dioxide from the air
What is the source of the carbon in the sugars made by plant's?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from the air.
What does carbon zero mean?
that means no carbon in the air.
What kind of gas is in air bubble?
it is not gas it is just air
What compound is formed when carbon is burned in the air?
carbon dioxide
Is carbon found in the air?
Elemental carbon is not a component of air but carbon compounds such as carbon dioxide are.
Does carbon dioxide dissolve into air?
Carbon dioxide IS air
What is formed when carbon reacts with air?
When carbon is exposed to air nothing happens.
What compound in air contains carbon?
Carbon is in most of the chemicals in living things and is in the air in carbon dioxide gas.
What form is carbon in when released into the air?
Carbon most commonly enters the air as a gas: carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds, or carbon monoxide, but it can also exist in the air as a solid (soot) for long periods of time. Carbon is an element in a solid form. When it released in air, it remains in the same form. If it is burnt in air then it released carbon dioxide & carbon mono oxide.
What does the increase of carbon dioxide in the air mean?
It means that there is more carbon dioxide (unbreathable air) gets in to are air
What is a process in which carbon moves from the air to the soil to animals and back to the air?
Carbon Cycle
How much of carbon di oxide is in the air?
0.03% of the air contains carbon dioxide.
Is carbon dioxide than air?
Carbon dioxide is more dense than air.
What is the raw material needed to provide carbon?
if carbon needs air then give it air
Do autotrophs remove carbon dioxide from the air?
do autotrophs remove carbon dioxide from the air
What is the source of the carbon in the sugars made by plant's?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from the air.
