Most plants (and some bacteria and fungi) do this by a process called 'photosynthesis' (photo=light, synthesis=create).
Plants store the radiant energy from sunlight in high-energy glucose molecules through a series of chemical reactions that take place in tiny organelles in their cells called 'chloroplasts'. Incidentally, it is the green pigment called chlorophyll in these that traps the sunlight, making most plants green.
As glucose is composed of just carbon, hydrogen and oxygen which are all found in carbon dioxide and water, these chemical reactions can all be simplified to this:
6 H2O + 6 CO2 = C6 H12 O6 (glucose)
What else can I help you with?
What two molecules are left after the complete breakdown of glucose during respiration?
The two molecules left after the complete breakdown of glucose during respiration are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
Why do plants use carbon dioxide?
To make food
What is the chemical process in which most living things use oxygen?
The chemical process most living things use oxygen for is called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, cells break down glucose in the presence of oxygen to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is essential for various cellular functions. CO2 and H2O are byproducts of this process.
What substance do plant make?
Oxygen and glucose
What gas do animals exhale and plants take in?
Carbon dioxide or CO2 is exhaled by animals when they use their food for energy. Oxygen is used to burn the glucose so that it can be used as energy for growth and repair. This is called cellular respiration and occurs in every single living organism. Plants then use the carbon dioxide to photosynthesise and create their own food in the form of glucose. They release oxygen and create water as a result of photosynthesis. Animals use the oxygen for cellular respiration and when the plants are consumed use the glucose for energy.
What is the equestion for respiration?
Glucose + O2 > CO2 + H2O (+energy)
What do plant use to make glucose?
they go through photosynthesis. the formula is 6 CO2+6 H2O+light energy=glucose+6 O2
What are two things used to make suger during photosynthesis?
CO2 and H2O reacts to form glucose and oxygen gas
What does CO2 h2o c6h12o6 represent?
These chemical formulas represent carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and glucose (C6H12O6). CO2 is a gas produced during respiration and used in photosynthesis. H2O is a molecule essential for many biological processes. Glucose is a primary source of energy for living organisms.
What do phytoplankton produce?
AnswerOxygen, and lots of it.They do this through the process of photosynthesis.Using CO2, Sun Energy, and H2O are combined to make Glucose and Oxygen.Oxygen.
What is the chemical formula for photosynthesise?
The Formula for Photosynthesis is CO2 + H2O -----> C6H12O6 (Glucose) + O2
What is a reactan in photosynthesis?
CO2 H2O and On the other side would be O2 and C6H12O6(glucose)
Do chloroplasts convert sunlight into glucose?
They convert CO2 and H2O into glucose.Energy of sunlight is used.
What are the raw materials and end products of a photosynthetic plant?
There are two raw materials. those are H2o and CO2 gas.
What is the shhort term for carbon dioxide and oxygen and water and glucose and starch?
The short term for carbon dioxide is CO2 oxygen is O2 water is H2O starch is C12H24O12 glucose is C6H12O6.Answered by Grant
What are two raw materials plants also use in photosynthesis?
CO2 and water are used . They are the main raw materials
If glucose is broken down by glucase what is made?
Well, since glucose is made out of carbon-dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), I think that would exactly be what would be made if glucose was broken down by glucase. Explained: Glucose is made through photosynthesis which involves CO2+H2O+Energy = C6H12O6 (a.k.a glucose). Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down glucose for energy used by nearly all complex organisms. It breaks glucose into CO2, H2O, and most importantly, energy.
