Question

A plant cell wants to complete photosynthesis, in full sentences, explain the type of transport that will occur for the reactants to come into the cell, and type of transport that will occur to the get the products out of the cell

Answer 1

Photosynthesis requires a few main components. Mainly, Sunlight, Water and Carbon dioxide.

For this reaction, the reactants are
1) Water
2) Carbon dioxide

For water, it enters the cell by Osmosis. Water enters a cell through a partially permeable cell surface membrane.

When water enters a space through a partially permeable membrane from a high water potential to a low water potential, the process is called osmosis.

For carbon dioxide, it enters the cell through diffusion.

Diffusion involves particles moving from a region of higer concentration to a region of lower concentation. Therefore, the answer is Diffusion.

Extra knowledge:
Carbon dioxide dissolves into the thin film of moisture on the surface of the spongy mesophyll layer for easy transportation to the cells involved in photosynthesis.
