Question

which of the following are the reactants of photosynthesis? (check all that apply)

co₂
c₆h₁₂o₆
h₂o
atp
o₂

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is \(6CO_2 + 6H_2O+light energy
ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2\). Reactants are the substances that go into a chemical reaction. In this equation, \(CO_2\) (carbon dioxide) and \(H_2O\) (water) are the reactants. \(C_6H_{12}O_6\) (glucose) and \(O_2\) (oxygen) are products. ATP is not a reactant in the overall photosynthesis equation.

Answer:

• \(CO_2\)
• \(H_2O\)
