Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the process being discussed: Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy.
Understand the basic chemical equation for photosynthesis: The general equation is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
Analyze the equation to determine the reactants: The reactants are the substances that start a chemical reaction. In the photosynthesis equation, these are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
Consider the role of light energy: While not a chemical reactant, light energy is essential for the process as it drives the reaction forward.
Review the options given in the problem: Compare the identified reactants (carbon dioxide and water) with the options provided to determine the correct answer.
