Question

What are the reactants of photosynthesis ?

Answer 1

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water. We've established that plants need carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) to produce their food, but where do these reactants come from and how do they get where they need to go inside the plant?

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

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.
