Carbon dioxide allows plants to undergo the process photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide and water are turned into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. Glucose is converted into ATP (energy) by the plant. The energy is used to conduct cellular processes.

Where does the plant get the carbon to make plant structures?

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.


What happens to carbon dioxide in a plant when it dies?

When a plant dies, the carbon stored in its tissues is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide through the process of decomposition. Microorganisms break down the plant material, releasing the carbon dioxide that was stored during the plant's lifetime. This contributes to the carbon cycle by returning carbon from the plant back to the atmosphere.


How does carbon dioxide enter a plant during the process of photosynthesis?

During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide enters a plant through small openings called stomata on the leaves. The carbon dioxide is then absorbed by the plant's cells and used in the process of photosynthesis to produce glucose and oxygen.


Effect on plant growth by increasing carbon dioxide?

The effect of carbon dioxide to plant growth, when adding additional carbon dioxide is negative. My scientific discoveries prove that it may be to hard on the plant to process more carbon dioxide than its actually used to. Agree?


How does carbon dioxide get into a plant cell?

Carbon dioxide enters plant cells through small openings on the surface of leaves called stomata. The stomata open to allow carbon dioxide to diffuse into the plant cell during photosynthesis, where it is used to produce glucose and oxygen.

Why is carbon dixoide important in photosythsis?

Carbon Dioxide is important in photosynthesis , because during the process while the plant gives of Carbon dioxide , we then use that air to BREATHE. so photosynthesis is a reason were able to breathe :)

Why is carbon dioxide import to living things?

It is important to plants as the plant needs sunlight,water,carbon dioxide,to make food and photosynthesis.Without carbon dioxide, the plants can't make food and it will soon die.

What do the chloroplasts of a green plant use carbon dioxide for?

Carbon dioxide is the source of carbon. It is reduced to glucose


What organisms eats carbon dioxide?

Carbon dioxide is a vapor, as it can not be eaten, but plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen all plant types do this, so hopefully, in answer to your question, all plant species absorbs carbon dioxide.
