Why does a plant need carbon-dioxide?

Answer 1

Carbon dioxide is one of the ingredients that plants need, along with water, to make sugar:

6CO2 + 6H20 --------> C6H1206 + 602

Carbon Dioxide + Water -------> Sugar and oxygen

Plants need carbon dioxide to make sugar just like you need flour to make a cake.

Answer 2

The photosynthesis equation is:

6 CO2 + 6 H20 -------------> C6H12O6 + 6 02

The plant takes in six carbon dioxide molecules and 6 water molecules through its stomata. Using energy from the sun, it turns the molecules in sugar molecules and 6 oxygen molecules.

CO2 = carbon dioxide

H20 = water

-----> = sun's energy

C6H12O6 = sugar

O2 = oxygen

Hope this helped some!

Answer 3

Carbon dioxide is needed so that photosynthesis could take place. Photosynthesis is the process of food being created for the plants. Carbon dioxide is needed along with water, sunlight, and oxygen. Only some plants really need soil. You can grow an avocado or onion in just a glass of water with sunlight until it's too big for the glass/container.

Also, why is the category for this question "Gorillas"?

Answer 4

Plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, which leads to the production of sugars, and eventually more complex molecules for use by the plant in growth and metabolism.

Answer 5

plant prepare their own food with the help of sunlight,carbon dioxide,oxygen.

Answer 6

plants need co2 during photosenthesis tomake sugars and oxegyn.

Answer 7

plants do not produce carbon dioxide, they produce oxygen

this is done because of photosynthesis (thats pretty much the reverse of respiration)
