Photosynthesis how do photosynthesis get carbon dioxide?

In: Biology, Botany or Plant Biology, Photosynthesis [Edit categories]

Answer:

diffusion: - the movement of molecules from high to low concentrations.

carbon dioxide is in higher concentration outside the leaf than inside so it DIFFUSES into the leaf THROUGH THE STOMATA and moves through the air spaces diffusing into the mesophyll cells for photosynthesis.

Relevant answers:

Does the plant get carbon dioxide for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide is released during respiration of plants and animals and it is used during photosynthesis.
What happens to carbon dioxide in photosynthesis?
Plants take it in and let out oxygen and glucose
How does the carbon dioxide get into the leaf for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide diffuses from the air into the leaves through the stomata to the mesophyll cells in the leaf to be used for photosynthesis.HOPE THIS HELPS XD
Is Carbon dioxide necessary for photosynthesis?
yes. like us, how we breath oxygen, plants breath carbon dioxide. so without it the photosynthesis process will not be complete.
Why carbon dioxide is important for photosynthesis?
Because without it, the plant would not be able to make the chemicals it needs.
