Where do plants get the carbon from to make organic molecules?

Answer 1

The carbon in glucose comes from carbon dioxide that enters through the plant through small holes on the bottom, called the stomata. It goes through the Calvin Cycle, and becomes glucose and other sugars.

Answer 2

Plants obtain carbon dioxide from the air through tiny openings on their leaves called stomata. This carbon dioxide is then converted into organic molecules through the process of photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight.

Answer 3

Carbon (all carbon) comes from the process of fission in stars. It is formed at the stage right before a stars death when all of the hydrogen, oxygen, and helium have reacted. When it dies the star "super novas" and releases these elements which eventually is bonded with oxygen to form CO2. This is then broken down in cellular processes which is, in turn, used by the cell.

Answer 4

The carbon in organic molecules comes from fission of various elements. The key elements involved are helium, oxygen and hydrogen.

Answer 5

It comes from the body, and to the brain to make photosynthesis hahaha

Answer 6

The carbon comes from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Plants and other photosynthetic organisms use water and CO2 to produce sugars which are then consumed by other organisms in a food web.

Answer 7

Plants get the carbon from the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
