Both oxygen and hydrogen are necessary to form carbohydrates. The hydrogen to oxygen ratio is 2 to 1, just like with water. The explains the basis for the name carbohydrate which is watered carbon.

What is the key element found in CO2 and glucose?

Carbon is the key element found in both CO2 and glucose. In carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon is combined with oxygen, while in glucose, carbon is bonded with hydrogen and oxygen to form a sugar molecule.


Is carbon dioxide used in plants?

Carbon dioxide is combined with the hydrogen from NADPH to produce glucose


Is glucose made of carbon dioxide?

Glucose is not made of carbon dioxide. Glucose is a simple sugar molecule composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. The carbon atoms in glucose are typically derived from carbon dioxide during the process of photosynthesis in plants.


What do plants cells use to produce glucose and and oxygen?

Plants use water, carbon dioxide, and the energy of sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen, in the process called photosynthesis. To form a carbohydrate molecule, carbon and oxygen is combined with hydrogen from the breakup of water molecules.


Do carbon dioxide water and glucose have all elements?

Yes, carbon dioxide (CO2) contains carbon and oxygen, water (H2O) contains hydrogen and oxygen, and glucose (C6H12O6) contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. So, all three compounds have elements within them.


What makes up the compound glucose?

Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen, and Hydrogen


How is water connect to photosynthesis?

water is combined with carbon dioxide to make glucose and oxygen


A compound need for photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants, which is done to make food (glucose/sugar). Photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide (CO2), sunlight, and water (H2O) which would create glucose (sugar), and oxygen (O2). A compound is a group of 2 or more different atoms combined chemically. The compounds that is included for photosynthesis is carbon dioxide and water.

Do carbon dioxide water and glucose hve all elements?

No. Carbon Dioxide (CO2)= 1 Carbon molecule, 2 Oxygen. Water (H2O)= 1 Oxygen, 2 Hydrogen. Glucose (C6H12O6)= 6 Carbon, 12 Hydrogen, 6 Oxygen. There are 115 left. Hope this helps.


Can carbon and oxygen form into water?

No. Water is a compound of oxygen and hydrogen. Carbon and oxygen will combined to form carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide.


Is carbon dioxide reduce or oxidized i photosynthesis?

Water is oxidized in the process of photosynthesis.
