Which of the following substances are needed to make glucose?
A
Hydrogen
B
Oxygen
C
Carbon
D
All of the above.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, to produce one molecule of glucose (and 6 molecules of oxygen gas), a plant needs 6 molecules of carbon dioxide and 6 molecules of water.

Detailed explanation-2: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose is produced by plants through photosynthesis using sunlight, water and carbon dioxide and can be used by all living organisms as an energy and carbon source.

Detailed explanation-4: -Rather, plants use sunlight, water, and the gases in the air to make glucose, which is a form of sugar that plants need to survive.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plant cells look green due to molecules in the chloroplasts that reflect green light. There are many, many chloroplasts in every green plant cell. Most of the rest of the cell usually looks clear. In the chloroplasts, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and energy are used to make a sugar called glucose.
