Question
what are the reactants of photosynthesis? water and oxygen carbon dioxide and oxygen oxygen and glucose carbon dioxide and water
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and water ($H_2O$) into glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$) and oxygen ($O_2$). The reactants are the substances that start the chemical reaction. In the photosynthesis equation \(6CO_2 + 6H_2O \xrightarrow{light} C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2\), carbon dioxide and water are the reactants. Oxygen is a product, not a reactant (eliminating options with oxygen as a reactant like water and oxygen, carbon dioxide and oxygen). Glucose is also a product (eliminating oxygen and glucose).
