Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The reactants of photosynthesis
A
CO2
B
CO2, H2O
C
CO2, H2O, Sunlight
D
none of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -During photosynthesis, light energy converts carbon dioxide and water (the reactants) into glucose and oxygen (the products).

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants make sugar by using energy from sunlight to transform carbon dioxide (CO2), a gas absorbed from the air, and water (H20) taken from the ground by roots into glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2). This process is called photosynthesis and occurs in the chloroplast of the plant cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbon dioxide, water, and light are used to make glucose and oxygen. Photosynthesis usually occurs in the leaves because of the presence of the green pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll can trap the solar energy which is used to perform photosynthesis.
