Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Is Glucose (C6H12O6) a REACTANT or a PRODUCT of photosynthesis?
A
Product
B
Raw Material
C
Neither
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

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

Detailed explanation-2: -The reactants of photosynthesis are sunlight, CO2, and water (H2O). The products of photosynthesis are glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).

Detailed explanation-3: -In photosynthesis, plants form glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose is a monosaccharide, or simple sugar, with the chemical formula C6H12O6. Glucose represents the primary reactant used during cellular respiration, in which ATP is produced.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food. During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch.
