To make energy, a plant must get carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. what is the sourse of these atoms
1 answer
Plants obtain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms mainly from carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, water (H2O) taken up through their roots from the soil, and oxygen (O2) from the air during photosynthesis. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert these molecules into energy-rich carbohydrates that can be used for growth and maintenance.
