Question

During photosynthesis, plants incorporate carbon dioxide into sugars and other organic compounds. The ratio of 12CO2 to 14CO2 incorporated into the sugars and other organic compounds should be equivalent to the ratio present in the atmosphere. True or False?

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

During photosynthesis, plant make use of atmospheric carbon dioxide to produce sugars and other organic components, which is given by

6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Where:

CO2 = carbon dioxide

C6H12O6= Sugar (glucose)
