Question

Predict: Of the molecules shown on the molecules pane, which do you think are inputs (ingredients) in photosynthesis? Which do you think are outputs

Answer 1

Answer:

Input ingredients = water, carbon dioxide, energy from the sun

Output ingredients = glucose, oxygen

Explanation:

Photosynthesis involves the production of carbohydrates from inorganic products. The chemical equation for the process is represented below:

$6CO_2 + 6H_2O + sunlight--> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2$

Water and carbon dioxide molecules combine in the presence of sunlight radiation to give glucose and oxygen molecules.

Input ingredients = water, carbon dioxide, sunlight

Output ingredients = glucose, oxygen
