Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of photosynthesis: Photosynthesis is a biochemical process that converts light energy into chemical energy, primarily occurring in plants, algae, and some bacteria.
Identify the reactants: In photosynthesis, the primary reactants are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
Recognize the role of sunlight: Sunlight provides the energy required for the photosynthesis reaction to occur, facilitating the conversion of CO2 and H2O into other compounds.
Determine the products: The main products of photosynthesis are glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2). This can be represented by the chemical equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
Evaluate the options: Compare the given options with the known products of photosynthesis. Glucose and oxygen are the correct products formed from CO2 and H2O in the presence of sunlight.
