Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Identify the main energy source that is a reactant in photosynthesis
A
Glucose
B
Sunlight
C
Water
D
Carbon Dioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, light energy converts carbon dioxide and water (the reactants) into glucose and oxygen (the products).

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis is the process through which plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar energy. The term “photosynthesis” thus refers to synthesis from light. So it is clear that the energy for photosynthesis comes from light.

Detailed explanation-3: -The photosynthesis chemical equation states that the reactants (carbon dioxide, water and sunlight), yield two products, glucose and oxygen gas.
