Question

multiple choice question
what are the reactants of photosynthesis?

○ co₂, h₂o, and light energy
○ light energy and c₆h₁₂o₆
○ light energy, c₆h₁₂o₆, h₂o, and o₂
○ c₆h₁₂o₆, h₂o, and o₂

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide ($\ce{CO_2}$) and water ($\ce{H_2O}$) into glucose ($\ce{C_6H_{12}O_6}$) and oxygen ($\ce{O_2}$). The reactants (substances used) in this process are $\ce{CO_2}$, $\ce{H_2O}$, and light energy. The other options include products (like $\ce{C_6H_{12}O_6}$, $\ce{O_2}$) or incorrect combinations.

Answer:

A. $\ce{CO_2}$, $\ce{H_2O}$, and light energy
