The carbon atoms used to produce sugars during photosynthesis primarily come from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Plants take in carbon dioxide through small openings in their leaves called stomata, and then use the energy from sunlight to convert the carbon dioxide into sugars through a series of biochemical reactions.
Carbon Dioxide is the air we breathe out. :)
The carbon in plants come from the carbon found in carbon dioxide (CO2). As plants undergo photosynthesis they draw in water through their roots and carbon dioxide from the air through specialized structures called stomates. So the inorganic carbon in carbon dioxide becomes organic carbon making up the oils, carbohydrates and proteins found in plants.
Into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
Yes. Burning carbon or a carbon compound will produce carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide in the oceans primarily comes from the atmosphere. Some of the carbon dioxide from the air dissolves into the ocean water. However, smaller amounts can come from respiration of sea animals and other miscellaneous sources. The atmosphere is by far the largest source of carbon dioxide in ocean water, though.
No, car exhaust is primarily composed of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons, with smaller amounts of carbon dioxide and other pollutants.
Carbon is stored in the atmosphere primarily as carbon dioxide (CO2) molecule.
Plants primarily obtain the majority of their carbon from carbon dioxide in the air through the process of photosynthesis.
No. Where would the carbon in the carbon dioxide come from?
No ,
The carbon dioxide you exhale primarily comes from the process of cellular respiration. In this process, cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. This carbon dioxide is then transported via the bloodstream to the lungs, where it is expelled during exhalation. Thus, the exhaled CO2 is a result of the metabolic activities that provide energy for the body.
