Day 2
Oops. My being in the thykaloid has excited the other electrons. The chlorophyll was activated and electrons running high with energy were released. The released electrons split the water molecule, and oxygen gas is given off and released though the stomates, which is a sort of pore in a plant, while carbon dioxide comes in. Apparently the oxygen that is released through the stomates is what "humans" breathe, and carbon dioxide is something they depend on the plants for getting rid of? Strange!

Why is oxygen given off?
ReplyDeleteOxygen is given off because the electrons that are running high with energy split the water molecule, and thus the oxygen in the water is released.
