Yes, carbon is used by plants to make sugar. Carbon dioxide (CO2), is taken in by plants along with water (H2O) to make sugar. First, plants through photosynthesis transform water into hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). the Hydrogen is then combined with CO2 to create C6H12O2, or other words called glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar that exists in plants. Apple trees for instance uses the glucose to make sweet apples for you! XD

How do plants utilize carbon in their growth and development?

Plants use carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis to make glucose, which is a type of sugar. This glucose is then used as a source of energy for the plant's growth and development.


Why do plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis?

Plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis because it is a key ingredient in the process of converting sunlight into energy. Carbon dioxide is used by plants to make glucose, which is a type of sugar that provides energy for the plant to grow and survive.


What is carbon used for in these organisms?

How do the plants get the necessary reactants to make sugar?

Plants get CO2 by gaseous exchange, water from the soil, and required energy by photolysis of water to make sugar.


What process is used by plants to make sugar?

Photosynthesis.


What is carbon dioxide used in the carbon of the plants?

it is for photosynthesis. to make carbohydrates as a food.


Does plants need sunlight to make sugar as long as they have a source of carbon dioxide and water?

Yes, plants need sunlight to perform photosynthesis, the process by which they convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar. Sunlight provides the energy needed to drive this chemical reaction. Without sunlight, plants would not be able to produce sugar efficiently.


Plants make sugar by?

Plants make sugar by photosynthesis. Most plants make there own sugar from sunight, air and material absorbed from the ground by the roots. The sugar is used to help the plant grow and flourish. We extract the sugar from the plants for our own use. Examples are common cane sugar from the sugar cane plant, beet sugar from beets, wheat sugar (dextrose), and from corn we get corn sweeteners.

The gas in air used by plants to make food is?

The gas in air used by plants to make food is carbon dioxide. Plants use carbon dioxide during the process of photosynthesis to convert energy from sunlight into glucose, which is used as a source of energy and growth.
