Question

trace the path of a labeled carbon atom through the biological processes of photosynthesis and respiration. The atom will start its journey inside a carbon dioxide molecule and it will end in the air inside a new carbon dioxide molecule. Your mission is to use your knowledge of photosynthesis and respiration to explain what happens to the carbon atom in these processes. ...?

Answer 1

The carbon atom will get processed by going through the stomata of a leaf. It is then combined with energy to produce something called glocuse or a form or type of sugar. The sugar will be used as energy, tissue and starch for itself. That's basically the fate of the carbon.
