For most terrestrial plants, nearly all the carbon comes from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. For aquatic plants, the carbon comes form carbon dioxide dissolved in the water.

How does carbon get to plants and contribute to their growth and development?

Carbon is absorbed by plants through a process called photosynthesis, where they take in carbon dioxide from the air and convert it into glucose, a form of sugar that provides energy for the plant. This process is essential for plant growth and development as it allows them to build their tissues and structures.


What parts of the plant make up both the male and female reproductive structures?

The male reproductive structures of a plant are made up of the stamen, which includes the anther and filament. The female reproductive structures consist of the pistil, which includes the stigma, style, and ovary.


How does the plant get the carbon dioxide it needs?

Plants absorb carbon dioxide through tiny openings on their leaves called stomata. Carbon dioxide is taken in during the process of photosynthesis, where it is combined with water and light energy to produce glucose and oxygen. This process allows plants to make their own food and grow.


Photosynthesis takes place in which use energy from sunlight to make food in plants?

Chloroplasts are the structures in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs. The chlorophyll pigment absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy to produce glucose for the plant. This process involves the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.


Do plants have carbon in their structure?

Yes, plants have carbon in their structure. Carbon is a key element in the molecules that make up plant cells, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

The structures through which carbon dioxide and oxygen get in or come out of the plant are called what?

These structures are called stomata, which are small pores present on the surface of plant leaves. Stomata open to allow carbon dioxide to enter the plant for photosynthesis and close to prevent excessive water loss. Oxygen produced during photosynthesis exits the plant through these stomata as well.


How does a plant make as waste gas?

A plant takes in carbon dioxide stores the carbon then releases oxygen as a waste gas.


Does a plant use oxygen to make carbon dioxide during a photosynthesis?

No, they use carbon dioxide to make oxygen.

What ptrocess pulls carbon dioxide from the air to make plant food from carbon?

The process that pulls carbon dioxide from the air to make plant food is called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (plant food) and oxygen. This process is essential for plant growth and is a key part of the carbon cycle on Earth.
