Hello, my name is Angie and I'll be assisting you. Please repay me by thanking me.

Please note that the reactants for photosynthesis are light, energy, water, carbon dioxide and chlorophyll and the products of photosynthesis are glucose (sugar), oxygen and air.

Light comes from the sun and shines onto the plant, this leads to the plant converting it to energy.

Water comes from the irrigation process or rain.

When the process of photosynthesis is over, the plants give man oxygen and we give them carbon dioxide.

I'm not sure where chlorophyll comes from though. Maybe look it up.

I do know that oxygen is then consumed by humans, the glucose goes into the fruit from the plant.
