diffusion: - the movement of molecules from high to low concentrations.

carbon dioxide is in higher concentration outside the leaf than inside so it DIFFUSES into the leaf THROUGH THE STOMATA and moves through the air spaces diffusing into the mesophyll cells for photosynthesis.

What leaves contains uses light to change carbon dioxide and water into glucose?

The msophyll cells (Palisade and Spongy) as they contain the photosynthesising pigment, chlorophyll.


Where do red blood cells obtain carbon dioxide?

from the lungs


How does most carbon dioxide reach the photosynthesising cells of a green leaf?

Carbon dioxide enters the leaf through small pores called stomata located primarily on the underside of the leaf. Once inside the leaf, carbon dioxide diffuses into the cells containing chloroplasts, where photosynthesis occurs. This process allows the plant to convert carbon dioxide into sugars using light energy.


Do cells use carbon dioxide?

No. Animal cells use Oxygen and give off carbon dioxide as a waste product. Plant cells use carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.


Do animal cells use carbon dioxide?

No. Animal cells use Oxygen and give off carbon dioxide as a waste product. Plant cells use carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.


If carbon dioxide is not present what happens to cellular respiration?

Without carbon dioxide, cellular respiration cannot be completed. Carbon dioxide is one of the waste products of cellular respiration, and its production is essential to allow the metabolic process to continue efficiently. If there is no carbon dioxide, the cells will not be able to fully carry out cellular respiration and obtain the energy they need.


Do you need carbon dioxide in cells to survive?

No, cells do not need carbon dioxide to survive. In fact, excessive carbon dioxide can be harmful and toxic to cells. Cells require oxygen for respiration, which is essential for producing energy.


How water and carbon dioxide are removed from cells?

Carbon dioxide is a product of cellular respiration.


What of these is a waste product of cells blood water oxygen or carbon dioxide?

Carbon dioxide is a waste product of cells produced during cellular respiration as cells break down nutrients to create energy. It is then transported in the blood to the lungs where it is exhaled from the body.


What carries carbon dioxide wastes away from the cells of the body?

Red blood cells carry most carbon dioxide wastes away from the cells of the body.


What produes carbon dioxide?

Humans and animals produce carbon dioxide (CO2). They breath in oxygen, and in the mitochondria of cells, it creates carbon dioxide.


Where does carbon dioxide come from in respiration and how do they get to the cells?

Carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product of cellular respiration in cells. During respiration, cells break down glucose and other nutrients to produce energy, releasing carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Carbon dioxide is then transported in the blood from the cells to the lungs, where it is exhaled from the body.
