Plants get Carbon dioxide from the air. The leaves on the plant are held up in the air by the leaf stalk so that they can be exposed to as much air as possible. The carbon dioxide then diffuses into the leaves where it is combined with hydrogen during the reduction reaction.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from the air.
Photosynthesis combines carbon dioxide and water, using sunlight to trap energy in the form of glucose in a cell.
The Carbon in Glucose made by plants comes from the Carbon in the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas in the air.
Carbon dioxide doesn't form in the Calvin Cycle (I assume you're referring that because there isn't such a thing as the "Calving Cycle" in biochemistry. Carbon dioxide must be taken in by the plant via the stomata and it is then used by the plant in photosynthesis. Clearly, this is why plants rely on carbon dioxide to complete the Calvin cycle and in large, photosynthesis. ~ nkindianhobo ~
It gets the Carbon Dioxide form the air. It has holes in its leaves to set the air in called 'stomata'.
Carbon dioxide is absorbed as a gas by the leaves of the plant.
Carbon dioxide.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from the air.
A plant's primary source of carbon is the air, where carbon is found in the form of carbon dioxide. Plants also need carbon dioxide, water, and light energy for photosynthesis that occurs in plant leaves.
For most terrestrial plants, nearly all the carbon comes from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. For aquatic plants, the carbon comes form carbon dioxide dissolved in the water.

The short form for carbon dioxide is CO2.

Carbon bonds with oxygen to form carbon dioxide (CO2) or carbon monoxide (CO).
