Indoor Plant Metabolic Processes

FAQ About Indoor Plant Metabolic Processes

What is the role of CO2 in the metabolism of indoor plants?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a vital component of the photosynthesis process in indoor plants. Plants absorb CO2 from the air through stomata in their leaves, using it alongside water to produce glucose and oxygen. This glucose serves as an energy source for growth and physiological functions. Adequate levels of CO2 are necessary to ensure efficient photosynthesis and overall plant health.
