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)
The two molecules left after the complete breakdown of glucose during respiration are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
To make food
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.
Oxygen and glucose
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.
CO2 and H2O do not form glucose on their own because the synthesis of glucose requires energy input and specific enzymatic processes. In photosynthesis, plants use light energy to convert CO2 and H2O into glucose, facilitated by chlorophyll and a series of biochemical reactions. Without this energy and the necessary catalysts, the simple combination of CO2 and H2O cannot spontaneously produce glucose.
Glucose + O2 > CO2 + H2O (+energy)
they go through photosynthesis. the formula is 6 CO2+6 H2O+light energy=glucose+6 O2
CO2 and H2O reacts to form glucose and oxygen gas
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.
A) The reaction of glucose to CO2 and H2O is usually irreversible in living systems because it involves the complete oxidation of glucose, releasing energy and leading to a significant increase in entropy. This process is highly exergonic and typically proceeds in one direction under physiological conditions. In contrast, the other reactions mentioned can often reach equilibrium or are reversible.
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.
CO2 H2O and On the other side would be O2 and C6H12O6(glucose)
The Formula for Photosynthesis is CO2 + H2O -----> C6H12O6 (Glucose) + O2
They convert CO2 and H2O into glucose.Energy of sunlight is used.
There are two raw materials. those are H2o and CO2 gas.
The short term for carbon dioxide is CO2 oxygen is O2 water is H2O starch is C12H24O12 glucose is C6H12O6.Answered by Grant
