Why plant can take in the same molecule of carbon dioxide more than once?

Carbon dioxide is biologically recycled. Plants make sugar with it, by means of photosynthesis, and then animals may eat that plant or the part of the plant that contains the sugar, and they metabolize the sugar and produce carbon dioxide as a waste product, which gets exhaled into the air. Plants can then absorb that same carbon dioxide molecule from the air, and use it to make sugar again. There is no limit to the number of times that this can be repeated.

Plants do not take in the same molecule of carbon dioxide more than once. When plants undergo photosynthesis, they use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to produce glucose and release oxygen. The oxygen is released into the atmosphere, while the glucose is broken down for energy or stored as starch. The carbon from the carbon dioxide becomes part of the plant's biomass, but once it is used, the carbon dioxide molecule is not recycled within the plant.

When plants do photosynthesis carbon dioxide enters the plant because there is more carbon dioxide in air than the plant what is this an example of?
Air pressure
Is carbon dioxide a molecule or element?
CO2 is both a compound and a molecule. It is a compound because it is made up of carbon and oxygen which have been chemically combined. It is a molecule because carbon dioxide exist as CO2 molecules, with simple molecular structure.
Which more contain more energy three molecules of carbon dioxide or one molecule of phosphoglyceraldehyde pgal?
PGAL
How are water and carbon dioxide different from most other substances?
Because they have more atoms in each molecule
What is it called when a combination of two or more pure substances that do not combine chemical?
If they are chemically combined, a compound eg a molecule of carbon dioxide contains an atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen. Carbon dioxide is a compound.
When plants do photosynthesis carbon dioxide enters the plant because there is more carbon dioxide in air than the plant what is this an example of?
Air pressure
What has more potential energy carbon dioxide carbohydrates or fatty acids?
Carbon dioxide < Carbohydrates < Fatty Acids (most reduced molecule).
Which molecule does the element carbon makeup in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide, methane are the two more common compounds.
Does carbon dioxide have more than one type of atom?
Yes. Carbon dioxide contains 1 atom of carbon and 2 atoms of oxygen in each molecule.
What would cause the blue btb solution containing elodea to turn green?
carbon dioxide from the plant and the more yellow the solution is the more Carbon Dioxide there is. The greener or bluer it is, the less carbon dioxide.

Does carbon dioxide contain more than one atom?
A single molecule contains 3 CO2 = one Carbon, two Oxygen
Carbon dioxide is made up of combining the different atoms carbon and oxygen and is known as a?
carbon dioxide is a molecule because it has more than one atom? it's also a compound because it's made of more than one element?
