Question

photosynthesis reactants (inputs) are________. (check all that apply). image of a plant with sun (energy), co₂ (carbon dioxide), water (h₂o) as inputs, and o₂ (oxygen) and sugar (c₆h₁₂o₆) as outputs options: c₆h₁₂o₆ (sugar), sunlight, co₂ (carbon dioxide), h₂o (water), o₂ (glucose)

Explanation:

The process of photosynthesis in plants uses sunlight, carbon dioxide ($\ce{CO_2}$), and water ($\ce{H_2O}$) as inputs (reactants) to produce glucose ($\ce{C_6H_{12}O_6}$) and oxygen ($\ce{O_2}$). So the reactants are sunlight, $\ce{CO_2}$, and $\ce{H_2O}$. Glucose and oxygen are products, not reactants.

Answer:

• sunlight
• $\ce{CO_2}$ (carbon dioxide)
• $\ce{H_2O}$ (water)
