In photosynthesis, oxygen is released primarily through the stomata, small openings on the undersides of leaves. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is taken in through these same stomata from the atmosphere. During the photosynthetic process, chlorophyll in the chloroplasts captures sunlight, which converts CO2 and water into glucose and oxygen. Thus, stomata play a crucial role in both the intake of CO2 and the release of oxygen.
CO2 is taken in by the plants from the atmosphere and O2 is released during photosynthesis.
Water (H2O) is taken by the roots of plants and it comes out through the leaves during transpiration.
Any oxygen taken in through the stomata is inconsequential, for it forms no function for the plant. Similarly for the nitrogen and the argon, etc. The CO2 however is important, for this may be reacted by the plant with the hydrogen it obtains through the photosynthesis process. This is then used to manufacture complex carbohydrates. The magic of photosynthesis lies in the breaking of the water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen is discharged as a waste gas. There are other photosynthesis processes known, other than those based on chlorophyll. Seaweeds for example use red, green, and brown photosynthesis processes, each with its own chemistry. For further information on the types of photosynthesis, have a crack at 'photorespiration' in a reference source such as wikipedia.
I order to know if photosynthesis has taken place, you need to know whether it has made it's own food (glucose) by adding iodine to one sample of a leaf. If it turned black, then it has glucose in it, if brown, then no glucose in it. Then you need to find if it has stored starch. That's what you find and if you found the answer please continue on this and explain in more.
The gas taken in by photosynthesis is carbon dioxide (CO2), while the gas produced is oxygen (O2).
Carbon dioxide is taken in, usually during the day, through stomata (tiny pores on the underside of a leaf), and simultaneously oxygen is released. At night, if the plant is using cellular respiration for energy, oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide released.The oxygen that is released comes from the breakdown of water, because hydrogen is needed for the photosynthesis reactions.
oxygen
The oxygen liberated in photosynthesis comes from water molecules. During the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, water molecules are split into oxygen, protons, and electrons. The oxygen is released as a byproduct.
Oxygen molecules are not necessarily produced during photosynthesis. However, oxygen is needed for photosynthesis, along with sunlight, water, and other nutrients. They are all taken in by the plant through various entrances and converted into the simple sugar, glucose. The bi-product of this production, is carbon-dioxide, which is excreted from the plant's cells back into the environment.
CO2 is taken in by the plants from the atmosphere and O2 is released during photosynthesis.
The products of Photosynthesis are : 1) Glucose 2) NADP+, ADP & P 1) Glucose is either used for respiration or stored in the plant in the form of Starch. 2) NADP+, ADP & P return to the Light Dependant stage for another cycle of photosynthesis.
Oxygen enters the mesophyll cells of a green plant through small pores on the leaves called stomata. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is taken in through the stomata, and oxygen is released as a byproduct, diffusing from the leaves into the surrounding air.
Water (H2O) is taken by the roots of plants and it comes out through the leaves during transpiration.
Water is taken in and utilized by plants for photosynthesis.
The Hydrogen ion is added to take the place of the energized electron in the light reaction of photosynthesis. The Hydrogen electron is taken from an H2O molecule. The oxygen is released as a waste product and the rest of the Hydrogen goes off to do work as energy is released.
The two things that a plant takes in for photosynthesis are : light and carbon dioxide.
The product of photosynthesis is Glucose( C6H12O6) and Oxygen(O2). The process of photosynthesis takes place in the presence of sunlight. In this process the H2O and CO2 gets converted into the energy called ATP and into simple sugars called Glucose(C6H12O6). Also the plant releases Oxygen(O2) as the waste which is taken by us.
