Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from the air.
Taken from the air in the form of carbon dioxide. CO2
CO2 would have a very difficult time entering the plant and the plant could not make food or construction materials as all sugars made by the plant are based on the carbon in carbon dioxide.
Carbon
Lots of them, but specifically sugars and starches.
Sugars and starches are organic compounds. But not all organic compounds are sugars and starches .
Water, (sun)light and carbon dioxide are three things that plants need to carry out photosynthesis. The water is used to replenish the lost electrons of chlorophyll and provide protons for the chemical gradient. The light is used as the source of energy to initiate photosynthesis. The carbon dioxide is the source of carbon to help make the complex sugar (made in the Calvin cycle).

Ethyl alcohol is usually made through the fermentation of sugars by yeasts, so the carbon atoms come from the sugars which are carbohydrates.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from the air.
Sugars are made of only Hydrogen, Oxygen and Carbon. The only liquid needed (at the ordinary temperatures at which plants live) is water. Carbon Dioxide is gathered from the air and combined with water (by photosynthesis) to produce sugars.
Monosaccharidesand Disaccharides are the simplest form of sugars. An example of aMonosaccharide is Glucose, and an example of a Disaccharide is Lactose. The most common source of these sugars is Fruit.
Ultimately, photosynthetic conversion of carbon dioxide in plants generates various sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose, etc.) and, as a by-product, oxygen is formed as well.
carbohydrates got their name from their meaning, "carbon-water"
Sugars are carbohydrates. All carbohydrates are composed of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen.
No. Polysaccharides are made of sugars.
Carbohydrates are sugars and starches such as bread, rice, and potatoes.
