Question

Plants utilize the carbon dioxide dissolved in the water absorbed by the roots for photosynthesis.T or F

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

plants absorb Carbon dioxide from air through tiny pores on leaves called stomata. this Carbon dioxide will be used in photosynthesis.

Answer 2

The  given statement is false

• Plants carry out photosynthesis by utilising the gaseous carbon dioxide dissolved in the atmosphere.
• Photosynthesis is the process by which Plants fix the substrate like carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight with the help of chlorophyll pigment to yield oxygen and chemical energy in the form of glucose. Chlorophyll is the primary pigment that helps in the absorption of light from the sun. Chlorophyll pigment is present within the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast.
• Water dissolved in the soil is also absorbed by plants to perform the process.
• The water is oxidized in the plant cell while carbon dioxide is reduced within the plant cell.
• Thus water is turned into oxygen and carbon dioxide is transformed into oxygen.
• Oxygen is then released back into the atmosphere and glucose is later stored in the form of starch in plant cells.
