Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is \(6CO_2 + 6H_2O \xrightarrow{light} C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2\). In a chemical reaction, reactants are the substances that go into the reaction. Here, carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) and water (\(H_2O\)) are the starting - materials (reactants) that are used to produce glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) and oxygen (\(O_2\)) (products). Glucose and oxygen are the products of photosynthesis, not reactants.
