After being absorbed through the stomata, carbon dioxide attaches to Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP), an organic molecule that "kickstarts" a part of photosynthesis called the Calvin cycle.

Similarly, we might think of plants using carbon dioxide and sunlight for photosynthesis and producing oxygen and ... Obtain eight bottles and number the bottles 1–8. Fill each about 4⁄5 full with ...
