Moonguy Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 In a closed environment dependent on plants for Oxygen regeneration, it is necessary to balance CO2 supply for a needed level of O2. How does one calculate the O2 output in terms of the CO2 needed by the plants? Is there a range of efficiencies involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan1290 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 You are basically asking to calculate photosynthesis perhaps your answer lies here http://www.biologie.uni-rostock.de/oekologie/literature/RMB/Heft%2006/RMB-06-K%F6hler-017.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidandavis Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 C6H12O6 + 602 -------> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP - cellular respiration formula The amount of molecules of carbon dioxide and oxygen is the same, and all organic matierial is eventualy recycled. The formula for cellular respiration is the formula for photosynthesis backwards (carbon dioxide + water ----> glucose + oxygen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
