Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy. The general chemical equation for photosynthesis is \(6CO_2 + 6H_2O+light\ energy
ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2\). In a chemical reaction, reactants are the substances that go into the reaction. Here, carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) and water (\(H_2O\)) are consumed in the reaction, and sunlight is the energy source for the reaction. Oxygen (\(O_2\)) and glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) are products of the reaction. Nitrogen (\(N_2\)) is not involved in the photosynthesis reaction.

Answer:

sunlight, water, carbon dioxide
