During photosynthesis, water molecules (along with carbon dioxide molecules) are rearranged into glucose and oxygen. This requires energy as well, which comes from the sun. This is why plants need sunlight, water, and air to grow. Take away just one of those three and the plant will die (this is a classic elementary school experiment.)

Here is the chemical formula for photosynthesis:

6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

What happens to the solute molecules during the dissolving process?

During the dissolving process, the solute molecules separate and disperse throughout the solvent. The intermolecular forces between the solute and solvent molecules overcome the forces holding the solute molecules together, allowing them to mix and form a homogeneous solution.


What happens to molecules during friction?

During friction, molecules at the contact surfaces interact with one another. The force of friction causes these molecules to resist motion, generating heat in the process. This heat is a result of the molecules vibrating and colliding with each other.


What happens in the process of diffusion?

During diffusion molecules move from a region of higher concentration to one of lower concentration by random molecular motion.


Can ultraviolet radiations decompose oxygen molecules resulting from chlorofluorocarbon compounds erosion of the ozone layer?

Yes they do. It is the process that happens during ozone depletion.


What happens to the potential of the molecules in a reaction?

the potential energy of the molecules changes during a reaction.


Which phase change occurs during evaporation?

The phase change that occurs during evaporation is when a liquid changes into a gas. This process happens when the molecules of the liquid gain enough energy to escape into the air.


What happens to molecules during photosynthesis?

It gets released into the Atmosphere.


What happens to high concentration of water molecules on one side of a cell membrane during the process of diffusion?

The process of diffusion makes particles from one side move to the other until they're equal.


What happens to all oxygen molecules that originated from carbon dioxide in the van niel experiment?

In the van Niel experiment, the oxygen molecules that originated from carbon dioxide are released as byproducts during the process of photosynthesis. These oxygen molecules are a result of splitting water molecules to produce molecular oxygen (O2) while converting carbon dioxide into carbohydrates.


What happens to a higher concentration of dissolved molecules on one side of a cell membrrane during the process of diffusion?

The higher concentration begins to diffuse into the area with lower concentration.


What happens to water during evaporation and how does this process occur?

During evaporation, water changes from a liquid to a gas by absorbing heat energy from its surroundings. This process occurs when water molecules gain enough energy to break free from the liquid and become vapor in the air.
