name the source of oxygen present within the glucose molecule synthesized during photosynthesis
Answers
Answer:
the source of oxygen present within the glucose molecules during photosynthesis is stomata where exchange of gas takes place
ANSWER:
Green plants capture energy and convert it into chemical energy by the process known as photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are transformed into simple carbohydrates and oxygen is liberated into the atmosphere.
light
6CO2 + 12H2O ----------------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
chlorophyll
Water is also used as a source of hydrogen required for reduction of carbon dioxide to form carbohydrate.
Water is oxidised in presence of light and chlorophyll. Hydrogen is removed from water and oxygen is released as follows:
light
4H20 ---------------> 2H20 + 4H+ + 4e− + O2
chlorophyll
or,
2H2O ----------------> 4H+ + 4e− + O2
Hence the source for oxygen gas is water and it is released when water splits in the presence of sunlight into oxygen and hydrogen ions.
