How many carbon atoms are in cellulose?

Answer 1

First, it helps to know the chemical formula of glucose: C6H12O6

The subscripts indicate how many atoms of each element are in the compound. So the numbers would simply be six carbons, twelve hydrogen, and six oxygen.

Answer 2

Cellulose is a long-chain polymer of glucose molecules. Each glucose molecule contains 6 carbon atoms. Therefore, the number of carbon atoms in cellulose depends on the number of glucose molecules present in the polymer chain.

Answer 3

None, because 'photosynthesis' is not a molecular compound. It's a biochemical pathsway of many consecutive reactions resulting in the forming of sugar C6H12O6.

(b.t.w. this is 6 C atoms, not molecules, and 12 H atoms and 6 O atoms in 1 (one) molecule of hexose sugar)

Answer 4

If 0.2% of CO2 is provided to a leaf, it performs photosynthesis well. If this concentration is futher increased, then the rate of photosynthesis increases but stabilizes at 0.5% and remains constant. Further increase in CO2 will not increase the rate of photosynthesis.

Answer 5

There are 6 carbon, 18 oxygen, 12 hydrogen before photosynthesis. there are 6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, 18 oxygen after photosynthesis. they equal each other out. :)

Answer 6

Approxiamtely 20 pounds for every 5 pounds of algae.

Answer 7

There are 6 carbon atoms. Three common sugars share the same molecular formula. C6 H12 O6. Because of their six carbon atoms each is a hexose

Answer 8

Carbon atoms are fixed in the process of Calvin cycle to produce carbohydrates.

Answer 9

Six atoms of carbon from 6 CO2.
