Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of photosynthesis: Photosynthesis is a chemical process used by plants to convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy stored in glucose.
Identify the main reactants: In photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and water (H2O) from the soil.
Recognize the role of sunlight: Sunlight provides the energy needed to drive the photosynthesis reaction, but it is not a reactant itself.
Write the general equation for photosynthesis: The simplified chemical equation is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2, where C6H12O6 is glucose.
Conclude the reactants: From the equation, it is clear that the reactants involved in photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.
