Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the reactants for photosynthesis?
A
Carbon Dioxide & Oxygen
B
Oxygen & Water
C
Water & Glucose
D
Carbon Dioxide & Water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water as starting reactants (Figure 5.5). After the process is complete, photosynthesis releases oxygen and produces carbohydrate molecules, most commonly glucose. These sugar molecules contain the energy that living things need to survive.

Detailed explanation-3: -The reactants of photosynthesis are everything to the left of the “—>” arrow, thus the reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The reactants for photosynthesis are sunlight, carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-5: -To perform photosynthesis, plants need three things: carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.
