How do plants convert the Carbon Dioxide they take in into Oxygen?
Swagramp
Plants incorporate inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide) into organic compounds by the Calvin Cycle (light-independent reactions). However, the Calvin Cycle does not release oxygen. The oxygen produced in photosynthesis is actually released in the first stages of light-dependent reactions. Plant photosynthesis depends on an acyclical electron flow, and therefore to replenish electrons lost by the photosystems, water is split into protons, electrons, and oxygen to supply electrons to the photosystems. The protons are used to generate the proton gradient. The oxygen, which has no further use, is released from the plant. Therefore, the oxygen produced by photosynthesis is not from carbon dioxide, by from water.

Does plants change carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide?
plants do not change carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. they, on the other hand, convert carbon dioxide in to oxygen.
How does carbon enter plants from the atmosphere?
As carbon dioxide. Plants convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water to glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen in the chemical process of photosynthesis.
How do plants and animals mantain the level of oxygen in the atmosphere?
Animals breathe in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
Oxygen is added to an ecosysem by?
Oxygen is given off by plants as they absorb carbon dioxide. It's like how animals breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide, except plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.
Why are nitrogen oxygen and carbon dioxide important to marine organisms?
nitrogen oxygen and carbon dioxide are important into the plants because without them there are no plants in the world and people will die cause there is no carbon dioxide
Does plants change carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide?
plants do not change carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. they, on the other hand, convert carbon dioxide in to oxygen.
Why the plants are so important?
They convert carbon dioxide in oxygen
What is the plants role in carbon cycle?
Plants have the ability to convert CO2, or Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen.
How does carbon enter plants from the atmosphere?
As carbon dioxide. Plants convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water to glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen in the chemical process of photosynthesis.
What is the important of plant in oxygen cycles?
Plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen through photosynthesis.
What source removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
Plants and trees, they convert it to oxygen
Do plants convert the energy of sunlight into carbon dioxide and water?
No. (This is just a bad multiple choice distractor.)Plants convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen using the energy of sunlight.
How does carbon doxide help the plant?
Plants use carbon dioxide to convert into oxygen. Carbon dioxide (and water and sunlight) is needed for photosynthesis which is the process plants use to survive.
What role do consumers play in the carbon and oxygen?
Producers are plants, and anything else that undergoes photosynthesis, that take in carbon dioxide and convert it to oxygen. Consumers, such as humans and animals, take in oxygen and convert it and release it as carbon dioxide through cellular respiration.
How do forests control carbon dioxide in atmosphere?
Through the process of respiration plants convert CO2 (carbon dioxide) into O2 (breathable oxygen).
How do forest control carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
