To make energy a plant must get carbon hydrogen and oxygen atomic. What is the source of these articles?

1 answer

The source of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen for plants typically comes from the air and water.

1. Carbon is obtained from carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air during the process of photosynthesis. Plants use sunlight to convert CO2 into glucose for energy.

2. Hydrogen is mainly obtained from water (H2O) which is absorbed by the plant's roots from the soil. Water molecules are broken down during photosynthesis to provide hydrogen atoms for the synthesis of glucose.

3. Oxygen is also obtained from water and from the byproduct of photosynthesis. Plants release oxygen into the air as a result of photosynthesis, contributing to the oxygen levels in the atmosphere.
