Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The sources of carbon in the photosynthesis process should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Photosynthesis is a process of converting light energy to chemical energy by using carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen.

The average human requires 120.0 grams of glucose (C6H12O6) per day. The photosynthetic reaction is: 6 CO2 + 6 H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6 O2 How many grams of CO2 (in the photosynthesis reaction) are required for this amount of glucose?arrow_forward
