Question

during photosynthesis, the reactants are transformed into products through a series of chemical reactions. chemical models for each reactant and each product are shown below. carbon dioxide water glucose oxygen reactants products h c o complete the table to show the types of atoms found in each reactant and each product. type of atom carbon dioxide water glucose oxygen hydrogen (h) carbon (c) oxygen (o)

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze carbon dioxide ($CO_2$)

Carbon dioxide has carbon (C) and oxygen (O) atoms. So for hydrogen (H) in carbon dioxide: no (empty box), for carbon (C) in carbon dioxide: yes (check - box), for oxygen (O) in carbon dioxide: yes (check - box).

Step2: Analyze water ($H_2O$)

Water has hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms. So for hydrogen (H) in water: yes (check - box), for carbon (C) in water: no (empty box), for oxygen (O) in water: yes (check - box).

Step3: Analyze glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$)

Glucose has hydrogen (H), carbon (C) and oxygen (O) atoms. So for hydrogen (H) in glucose: yes (check - box), for carbon (C) in glucose: yes (check - box), for oxygen (O) in glucose: yes (check - box).

Step4: Analyze oxygen ($O_2$)

Oxygen has only oxygen (O) atoms. So for hydrogen (H) in oxygen: no (empty box), for carbon (C) in oxygen: no (empty box), for oxygen (O) in oxygen: yes (check - box).

Answer:

Type of atom	Carbon dioxide	Water	Glucose	Oxygen
carbon (C)	✓		✓
oxygen (O)	✓	✓	✓	✓
