Answer: Haploid cells have 23 chromosomes while diploid cells have 46 (23 pairs) chromosomes

Explanation: Haploid cells are produced in a type of cell division called meiosis. In meiosis, parent cells undergo two cell divisions to produce four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes in the parent cell. Diploid cells are produced by a type of cell division known as mitosis. In mitosis, parent cells undergo one cell division to produce two identical daughter cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Gametes undergo meiosis while somatic cells undergo mitosis.

Alborosie

What happens is the plants absorb the carbon dioxide in the air which we produce by breathing in oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide. They then combine the carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight because most plants cannot live with sunlight, to create glucose which is the second formula you have in your question.
