Answer to Question #237751 in Cell Biology for RMK

Question

Describe how do plants get carbon in form of CO2 from the air

Answer 1

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.
