Reactants of photosynthesis include light energy, H2O, and CO2. So I would imagine it’s H2O and CO2

Answer: 6CO2+ 6H20 ------> C6H12O6 + O2

Step-by-step explanation:

The photosynthesis can be defined by a chemical reaction. the left side of the reaction is the reactant side which has water and carbon dioxide and the right side is carbohydrates and oxygen in the presence of sunlight.

Water is obtained from the soil and carbon dioxide from air. The product formed is used by the plants and other organism.

The oxygen is released into the environment as a by-product that provides life to other organism as well as plants.
