Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the reactants (what’s needed) for photosynthesis?
A
glucose and oxygen
B
light, water, and carbon dioxide
C
Either A or B
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: -This process is called photosynthesis and is performed by all plants, algae, and even some microorganisms. To perform photosynthesis, plants need three things: carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Answer and Explanation: The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide + water + light energy.
