Answer:

Reactants: Carbon Dioxide and water

Products: Glucose and oxygen

Step-by-step explanation:

As you may see from the equation, the reactants [molecules going BEFORE the reaction (arrow)] have carbon and hydrogen in it, so they are the reactants of photosynthesis, and the result (products)? Well, what does a plant do after it finished photosynthesis? It releases oxygen into the air which keeps us alive and forms glucose to give nutrients and become a source of energy for the plant.

Hope it helps and credit to the other person, they answered first!
