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

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Reactants of Photosynthesis Notice that it takes six molecules of water and six molecules of carbon dioxide to make one molecule of glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water. These are the molecules necessary to begin the process. But one more item is necessary, and that is sunlight. All three components, carbon dioxide, water, and the sun’s energy are necessary for photosynthesis to occur.
