The carbon to form glucose in photosynthesis comes from CO 2 in the atmosphere. After the light reactions store energy in the form of ATP and NADPH, the Calvin cycle uses that energy in a multiphase process to form G3P (a pseudo-sugar) which goes on to become glucose.

54 carbon atoms how many can become part of glucose?

The formula for glucose is C6H12O6. This means that six carbon atoms can be found within one molecule of glucose, as well as twelve hydrogens and six oxygens. In, for example, photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is involved in a complex series of reactions that form glucose from those molecules, as well as from hydrogen atoms from water. If 54 molecules of carbon dioxide, and thus 54 atoms of carbon, were used in photosynthesis, nine molecules of glucose would be formed, thus meaning that all of the carbon atoms would become glucose. Therefore, all of the carbon atoms can potentially become part of glucose.


Where do the carbon atoms from the carbon dioxide go?

During photosynthesis, carbon atoms from carbon dioxide are converted into glucose through a series of chemical reactions. The carbon atoms become part of the glucose molecules and are stored in the plant's tissues.


How many carbon atoms does it take to create three glucose molecules?

To create three glucose molecules, it would require a total of 72 carbon atoms because each glucose molecule contains 6 carbon atoms. So, 6 carbon atoms x 3 glucose molecules = 18 carbon atoms for each individual glucose molecule, and 18 carbon atoms x 3 = 72 carbon atoms in total.

How many carbon atoms total would you find in three glucose molecules?

18 carbon atoms (6 in each)


When a plant form of glucose molecules where do the carbon atoms come from?

The Carbon in Glucose made by plants comes from the Carbon in the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas in the air.


How many atoms of hydrogen are needed to build four molecules of glucose?

A molecule of glucose has 6 atoms of carbon, 12 atoms of hydrogen, and 6 atoms of oxygen. Therefore, to build four molecules of glucose, you would need 48 atoms of hydrogen (12 atoms of hydrogen per molecule of glucose multiplied by 4 molecules).


What two molecules make up glucose?

Glucose is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. The molecular formula of glucose is C6H12O6, meaning it is composed of six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms.
