All living plants and animals contain carbon in their cells. Humans eat carbon in all natural foods and meat and the gas is released when the food is burned into energy, and it combines with the oxygen we breathe to make CO2.

What is the main carbon source for synthesis of sugar in plants?

(1) In photosynthetic organisms (e.g. plants), the carbon source for glucose synthesis is atmospheric CO2.(2) In mammals the carbon source for glucose synthesis (gluconeogenesis) includes organic compounds such as pyruvate and glycerol. It should be noted, however, that the ultimate carbon source for all organic compounds in heterotrophs (such as mammals) is atmospheric CO2.

Why use NaHCO3 in a photosynthometer?

NaHCO3 is used in a photosynthometer as a carbon source for photosynthesis. When dissolved in water, it releases CO2, which can be used by the plant in the photosynthesis process. This helps to simulate natural conditions and maintain the photosynthetic activity of the plant in the photosynthometer.
