Mention the function of CO2 in photosynthesis.
Answers
The funtion of Co2 in photosynthesis;
Co2 is released by the plant in the process.
Answer:
Explanation:
Plants get carbon dioxide from the air through their leaves. The carbon dioxide diffuses through small holes in the underside of the leaf called stomata. (singular: stoma. plural: stomata)
The lower part of the leaf has loose-fitting cells, to allow carbon dioxide to reach the other cells in the leaf. This also allows the oxygen produced in photosynthesis to leave the leaf easily.
stoma
Carbon dioxide is present in the air we breathe, at very low concentrations. Even though it forms about .04% of the air, it is a needed factor in light-independent photosynthesis.
In higher concentrations, more carbon is incorporated into carbohydrates, therefore increasing the rate of photosynthesis in light-independent reactions.
