does some mass of glucose come from water
yes
oxygen atoms in glucose come from
CO2/water molecules
Oxygen atoms in O2 come from
comes from the breaking down of water molecules in the process of photosynthesis
where does most of mass of glucose come from?
Co2
where does majority of mas in plants come from?
the sugars(food) from photosynthesis
what processes does photosynthesis go through to transform sunlight energy?
Light reactions
Calvin cycle
what gas is a side product of light reactions
oxygen (O2)
where does the light cycle store sunlight energy?
In ATP and NADPH and later used in Calvin cycle
cells are mainly composed of 4 things….
Nucleic acids
carbohydrates

what is true about energy and matter/mass
it can neither be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed
