Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The reactant(s) for photosynthesis are
A
C6 H12 O6 + 6O2
B
6CO2 + 6 H2O
C
ATP
D
C6 H12 O6
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: -The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2. 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2. In plants, the process of photosynthesis takes place in the mesophyll of the leaves, inside the chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water and carbon dioxide are by-products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process. Background Information: Plants make sugar by using energy from sunlight to transform carbon dioxide (CO2), a gas absorbed from the air, and water (H20) taken from the ground by roots into glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).
