PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The two reactants of photosynthesis are ____
A
oxygen
B
carbon dioxide
C
glucose
D
water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-2: -During the process of photosynthesis plants break apart the reactants of carbon dioxide and water and recombine them to produce oxygen (O2) and a form of sugar called glucose (C6H12O6).

Detailed explanation-3: -Individual water molecules can participate in the reaction as reactants or as catalysts. Water can contribute to the changes in the free energy of activation through solute-solvent interactions and solvent reorganization.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis produces water as a byproduct. During photosynthesis, plants take carbon dioxide ( C O 2 ), and water ( H 2 O ) from the air and soil.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
