Question

Why does a plant need six

molecules of carbon dioxide and
six molecules of water to
produce one molecule of
glucose?

Answer 1

For each molecule of glucose produced: 6 water water molecules are oxidized, and become the source of electrons for carbon dioxide reduction. 6 molecules of carbon dioxide are required, one for each carbon atom in glucose. 6 molecules of oxygen are produced as a by product of water oxidation
