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)

Why do plants use carbon dioxide?
To make food
What substance do plant make?
Oxygen and glucose
What is the process that is carried out in plants in which glucose is being produced?
Photosynthesis is the process. Plants use carbon dioxide in the air, as well as water and sunlight to make glucose and oxygen. The equation is Carbon Dioxide + Water => Glucose + Oxygen
State one function of glucose glycogen and lactose in animals?
Glucose - used for Aerobic and Anaerobic respiration. It is also the primary source of energy for the brain, thus when glucose is low, it can make it more difficult to think. Moreover, It is a precursor for Vitamin C.Glycogen - Is a polysaccharide of glucose, and is stored in the liver when the body needs to regulate blood sugar (Homeostasis). To do this, using Insulin (secreted from the pancreas) it branches the glucose molecules together.Lactose - Information unknown currently.
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 reactions will usually be irreversible regarding chemical equilibrium in human bodies?
A) glucose to co2 and h20 B) ADP+Pi to make H2CO3 C) H2O+ CO2 to make H2CO3 4) glucose molecules joined to make glycogen
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 does photosynthesis convert h2o and co2 into?
photosynthesis: 6 CO2 + 6H20 ----> 6O2 + C6H12O6 Produces glucose
What are two things used to make suger during photosynthesis?
CO2 and H2O reacts to form glucose and oxygen gas
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.
How do plants use the nutrients and water to produce food or glucose?
Well, first make their own food during the process of photosynthesis. they use the light energy to make sugars (glucose) from Co2 and H2O
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.
Do chloroplasts convert sunlight into glucose?
They convert CO2 and H2O into glucose.Energy of sunlight is used.
What is the chemical formula for photosynthesise?
The Formula for Photosynthesis is CO2 + H2O -----> C6H12O6 (Glucose) + O2
What are the row product of photosynthesis?
Raw materials are CO2 and H2O. Products are glucose and O2
What is a reactan in photosynthesis?
CO2 H2O and On the other side would be O2 and C6H12O6(glucose)
