What molecules did the carbon atoms in the glucose become part of?

∙ 10y ago
The carbon to form glucose in photosynthesis comes from CO 2 in the atmosphere. After the light reactions store energy in the form of ATP and NADPH, the Calvin cycle uses that energy in a multiphase process to form G3P (a pseudo-sugar) which goes on to become glucose.

What is the number of carbon atoms in a molecule of glucose?
C6 H12 O6 being the molecular formula of glucose, the carbon atoms are 6 in one molecule of glucose.
Does Glucose has carbon atoms?
It is dependent on what happens to the Hydrogen atoms.
How many carbon atoms are in sucrose?
The molecular formula for Fructose is C6H12O6. This indicates that there are six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms.
How many carbon atoms are in a molecule of maltose if the molecules has 12 oxygen atoms?
12 carbon atoms exist in a molecule of maltose if the molecules have 12 oxygen atoms.
How many pyruvate molecules are produced per glucose molecule during glycolysis?
Glucose contains six carbon atoms, whereas pyruvate only contains three, so it is possible to derive two pyruvate molecules (3+3 carbon atoms) from one glucose molecule (=6 carbon atoms). During the early stages of glycolysis, the glucose is converted into Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. This molecule also has six carbon atoms, and is split by an enzyme called 'fructose biphosphate aldolase' into two separate molecules containing three carbon atoms: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. It is the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate that is later converted into pyruvate, accounting for the first pyruvate molecules from glucose. However, the other 3-carbon molecule, dihydroxyacetone phosphate, is kept in equilibium with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate by an enzyme known as 'triose phosphate isomerase', so that this is eventually converted into pyruvate as well. The result being two pyruvate molecules per glucose molecule.
54 carbon atoms how many can become part of glucose?
The formula for glucose is C6H12O6. This means that six carbon atoms can be found within one molecule of glucose, as well as twelve hydrogens and six oxygens. In, for example, photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is involved in a complex series of reactions that form glucose from those molecules, as well as from hydrogen atoms from water. If 54 molecules of carbon dioxide, and thus 54 atoms of carbon, were used in photosynthesis, nine molecules of glucose would be formed, thus meaning that all of the carbon atoms would become glucose. Therefore, all of the carbon atoms can potentially become part of glucose.
How many atoms of carbon in glucose in 3.31x10 to the power of 19 molecules of glucose?
19.86 x 1019 carbon atoms (just times it by 6, the number of carbon atoms in one glucose molecule)
When plant forms glucose molecules what is its source of carbon atoms?
Carbon dioxide.
When plants form glucose molecules where do carbon atoms come from?
carbon dioxide
When a plant form glucose molecules what is its source of carbon atoms?
Carbon dioxide.
How many atoms of carbon are in two molecules of glucose?
12
How many carbon atoms total would you find in three glucose molecules?
18 carbon atoms (6 in each)
When a plant form of glucose molecules where do the carbon atoms come from?
The Carbon in Glucose made by plants comes from the Carbon in the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas in the air.
How many carbon dioxide molecules are needed to produce 3 molecules of glucose?
Each glucose molecule contains 6 carbon atoms. Thus we need 18 molecules of CO2 to make 3 molecules of glucose.
How many carbon atoms does it take to create three glucose molecules?
18 carbon atoms
How many diatomic Oxygen molecules does it takes to break down glucose?
Once molecule of glucose contains 6 atoms of carbon, 12 atoms of hydrogen and 6 atoms of oxygen.
How many molecules of water would result if two molecules of glucose combined with 12 molecules of oxygen?
Twelve. Glucose is C6H12O6, so two molecules of glucose would give you: 12 carbon atoms 24 hydrogen atoms 12 oxygen atoms The 12 molecules of oxygen would give 24 oxygen atoms, for 48 total atoms of oxygen. So...each carbon atom would take two oxygen atoms to give 12 molecules of carbon dioxide, and each remaining oxygen atom would take two hydrogen atoms to give 12 molecules of water.
