Were does a plant make its food?
Green plants use a process called photosynthesis to combine Water and Carbon dioxide gas to form carbohydrates, using the energy from sunlight to power the reaction. Oxygen gas is given off as a waste product of this reaction.
In photosynthesis plants need the sunlight what are the other two substances used in photosynthesis?
water is one of them but I can't remember the other EDIT: Plants also require Carbon Dioxide: Water + Sunlight + Co2 --> Oxygen + Glucose (Energy)
In cellsthe energy available in food is used to make an energy-rich compound called?
The first step in releasing the energy of glucose in the cell is known as.
What is the original source of energy in oil?
With the exception of nuclear energy (fission or fusion) all original sources of energy in the world come from the Sun and accretion (Earth's creation by impact events) . If you want to go back further than that, ultimately all energy, including nuclear energy, started with the big bang. Oil or fossil fuels all began as plant life which gathered it's energy from the Sun, creating sugars from CO2, water and minerals through a process called photosynthesis, absorbing solar energy to do so.
Does photosynthesis take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere?
No, Cellular Respiration returns carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere: Photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Light Energy -> Sugar + Oxygen Cellular Respiration: Sugar + Oxygen -> C.R. -> Carbon Dioxide + Water
Which nutrient does not provide energy?
Vitamins, minerals, fiber, and water do not provide energy
What do mean by Photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is a process in which green plants use energy from the sun to transform water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and organic compounds.
What nutrition do plants need to live?
Minerals from water, nutrients from soil, energy from the sun (made in the process of photosynthesis)
How do roots which are not green contribute to photosynthesis?
The roots absorb water from the ground; water is one of the main ingredients for photosynthesis. They also provide all of the other nutrients and minerals required to make the chlorophyll, for the synthesis to occur in the first place.
Where does the energy for the plants come from?
Well they get energy from two different things -photosynthesis: where they soak in rays of sunlight that they convery into food and energy -their roots: which bring up water and minerals
Does photosynthesis provide us with water?
no
How do minerals and water enter into a plant?
The way a plant absorbs minerals and water taken in by a plant is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis includes water, oxygen, starch, and certain minerals, as well as the sun. This is why plants are green. because plants are producers, and don't rely on other living or dead organisms for their own source of potential and kinetic energy, photosynthesis is an excellent way for plants to absorb water and minerals.
In green plantsputting together food molecules with chlorophyll and the light energy from the sun?
Yes, this process also includes water, carbon dioxide and a few trace minerals. It is called photosynthesis.
The splitting of water during photosynthesis is called?
Photolysis is the splitting of water during photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process which results in the conversion of light energy into chemical energy.
Which part of the plant absorbs minerals for photosynthesis?
The roots absorb mineral ions and water and transport them to the leaves. But photosynthesis does not actually use the minerals in making the sugar.
Where does the energy photosynthesis come from?
The energy photosynthesis comes from the sun's light energy.
What does a barrelely eats?
Barrel cactus plants eat dissolved nutrientsfrom the soil. The nutrients tend to be minerals and trace elements. They also eat photosynthetic products, such as energizing starches and sugars.Plants do not "eat", they absorb minerals and water from the soil and metabolize them together with sunlight (photosynthesis) to form simple sugars which provide energy for the plant
