Answer:

From CARBONDIOXIDE (CO2) found in the atmosphere

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process performed by autotrophic organisms like green plants. It is a phenomenon whereby these plants manufacture their own food (sugars) using an inorganic carbon source in the presence of sunlight to provide energy.

The major end product of photosynthesis is glucose, which has a carbon constituent i.e. C6H12O6. However, this carbon needed to make glucose is got from an inorganic molecule called CARBON DIOXIDE, which the plants take from the atmosphere in via the stomata on their leaves.

Describe three structures found in plant cells but not animal cells. describe the function of each structure, and how each benef

Oksana_A [137]

The three structures found in plant cells that aren't found in animal cells are the cell wall, chloroplast, and the large central vacuole. The cell wall is a hard outer covering that allows plant cells to keep their shape. Chloroplast contain the pigment known as chlorophyll and allow plants to undergo photosynthesis. Finally, the large central vacuole is there to allow plants to store lots of water.
