Verified step by step guidance

Understand the process of photosynthesis: Photosynthesis is a biochemical process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy stored in glucose.

Identify the reactants involved in photosynthesis: The primary reactants are carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O), which are transformed into glucose and oxygen using sunlight.

Write the balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis: The general equation is 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂. This equation shows that six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water produce one molecule of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and six molecules of oxygen (O₂).

Recognize the primary products: From the balanced equation, the primary products of photosynthesis are glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen (O₂).

Consider the significance of these products: Glucose serves as an energy source for plants and other organisms, while oxygen is released into the atmosphere, supporting aerobic life.
