Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the reactants of photosynthesis?
A
water, carbon dioxide, light energy
B
oxygen and glucose
C
oxygen and carbon dioxide
D
oxygen and water
Explanation: 

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

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Answer and Explanation: The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide + water + light energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
