The production of one molecule of glucose needs 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 6 molecules of water and some light energy. To make 4 molecules thus we'd need 24 carbon dioxides, 24 waters, and four times as much energy. Chlorophyll must also be present.

What will happen if plants do not get carbon dioxide?

If plants don't get carbon dioxide, they won't be able to take water from the soil to get sugar from sunlight; this sugar is called "Glucose" which is food for a plant, and plants need sugar so they can break it down to get the energy that they need to avoid wilting. Carbon dioxide enters the plant through the leaves and comes back out of the plant as oxygen from the water in the soil, and the carbon dioxide turns into sugar


If a membrane was not permeable to sugars why would it probably also not be permeable to starch molecules?

If a membrane is permeable to a substance, it means that there are gaps/holes/pores in the membrane large enough for that substance to pass through. Starch molecules are bigger that sugar molecules. So if the membrane is not permeable to sugars, the gaps/holes/pores will not be big enough for starch molecules to pass through either.


Adding external protrusions to a wing (such as fuel pods water tanks and missiles) would be useful but what could one drawback be?

It can weaken the wing, it creates additional drag, and will produce a larger radar reflection.

What happens if a plant doesnt get enough oxygen?

If plants did not spread oxygen then the people would die off. We as human beings need oxygen to live. Plants need Carbon Dioxide. We give off Carbon Dioxide for them to breath in and they breath out oxygen which we breath in. so really plants and humans play important roles in eachothers life and wouldn't survive without each other. - Ashley barba

Why would a plant store sugar and where would it store it?

Try this : Sugar is (one of) the main product of photosynthesis. It is used by all of the cells of the plant for energy and for synthesis of other molecules. Plants usually store sugars as starch, but not all of it. Sugar is specifically stored as sugar in fruits and flowers as bait to entice the spreading of seeds and/or pollen.


What would you form if you physically combined water and sugar?

If you physically combine water and sugar, the sugar would dissolve in the water, forming a sugar solution. The sugar molecules would separate and mix evenly with the water molecules, creating a sweet-tasting liquid.


How many grams of sugar are needed for 38 ATP?

100g sugar = 1619KJ of energy (according to Wikipedia)--> 1g sugar = 16.19KJ[1ATP]/[50KJ] * [16.19KJ]/[1 g sugar] = .3238[ATP]/[g sugar]-->3.08[g sugar]/[ATP]3.08[g sugar]/[ATP] * 38ATP = 117g sugar for 38 ATP


Which 1 has more molecules 9 g of water or 9 g of sugar?

9g of water


Why does a sugar cube disappears when it dissolves in water?

The "cube" disappears but the "sugar" doesn't. When placed in water the sugar dissolves. Essentially the sugar molecules break off from the solid and hide among the water molecules. If the water were to be removed by evaporation the sugar would precipitate out. if done carefully large sugar crystals will grow in the evaporating solution. The sugar cube will not reform as this is an artificial construct.


How is paper made of plant?

The leaves of trees take carbon dioxide and water and make sugar. Trees take sugar molecules and combine them to make starch. They take starch molecules and make even bigger molecules. They paste those molecules together. Tall trees consist of many molecules of different sizes pasted together. Factories remove part of the glue in wood in trees and turn trees into long chain molecules. They can take these long chain molecules and lay them flat and thin and they produce paper.


Is mixing yeast and sugar chemical or physical change?

Mixing yeast and sugar is a physical change, as the yeast and sugar molecules remain the same even though they are combined. A chemical change would occur if the yeast and sugar reacted together to produce a different substance, such as carbon dioxide during fermentation.


Why might plant storage organs (such as fruit or tuber) contain both starch and sugar?

Starch and sugar are essentially the same thing. Starch is a polymer (chain) of single sugar molecules. As the starch is made up or broken down, you would expect to find both in the cells responsible for this action.

Sunlight


Number of sugar molecules in DNA section containing 3 base pairs?

A DNA section containing 3 base pairs would have 6 sugar molecules. Each nucleotide in DNA contains a deoxyribose sugar molecule, so 3 base pairs with 2 nucleotides each would have a total of 6 sugar molecules.
