(a)
write out the complete equation for photosynthesis (including the yields arrow).
underline the reactants. make the products bold. (you may write the equation
using words or symbols)

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a biological process where plants use light energy. The reactants are carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) and water (\(H_2O\)). The products are glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) and oxygen (\(O_2\)).

Answer:

Underlined reactants (symbols): \(\underline{6CO_2}+\underline{6H_2O}\) \(\xrightarrow{\text{light}}\) \(C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2\)

(Or in words: \(\underline{\text{Carbon dioxide}}+\underline{\text{Water}}\) \(\xrightarrow{\text{light}}\) \(\text{Glucose + Oxygen}\))
