Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Detailed explanation-2: -During photosynthesis, light energy (sunlight) combines with the reactants-water and carbon dioxide-to form new products: glucose (sugar) and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -The reactants for photosynthesis are light energy, water, carbon dioxide and chlorophyll, while the products are glucose (sugar), oxygen and water. The reactant water molecule is taken up from the soil by the roots for splitting and producing oxygen. Water is also a product of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -In photosynthesis, solar energy is harvested as chemical energy in a process that converts water and carbon dioxide to glucose. Oxygen is released as a byproduct. In cellular respiration, oxygen is used to break down glucose, releasing chemical energy and heat in the process.

Detailed explanation-5: -The reactants for photosynthesis are sunlight, carbon dioxide and water. Reactants are the materials that you start with in a chemical reaction and the products are what you make. During photosynthesis sunlight is used to excite the electrons in chlorophyll molecules during the light reactions.
