Question
a gas that plants take in (reactant) through small holes in their leaves for the process of photosynthesis. choose an answer oxygen carbon dioxide nitrogen carbon monoxide dont know?
Plants take in carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) through stomata (small holes in leaves) for photosynthesis. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is $6CO_2 + 6H_2O \xrightarrow{light} C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2$. Oxygen is a product of photosynthesis. Nitrogen is mainly absorbed by plants from the soil in the form of nitrates, not directly as a gas for photosynthesis. Carbon monoxide is toxic to plants and not a reactant in photosynthesis.
