Question

Predict: Of the molecules shown on the CHEMICALS pane, which do you think are reactants (ingredients) in photosynthesis? Which do you think are products?
Reactants: ___________________________ Products: ___________________________





Explore: Drag each molecule from the CHEMICALS pane to the chloroplast on the PHOTOSYNTHESIS pane. If a molecule is a reactant, it will stay in the chloroplast.



Which molecules are reactants in photosynthesis? _________________________________





Observe: Click Add light and look at the Output. What are the products of photosynthesis?



_________________________________________________________________________





Summarize: A chemical equation shows reactants on the left side of an arrow, and products on the right, like this: reactant + reactant ( product + product.



Based on your observations, what is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?



____________________________________________

Answer 1

chemical equations are equation in which the reactants react to formed a product

Answer 2

Answer:

Which molecules are reactants in photosynthesis?

Reactants: light energy, carbon dioxide and water

What are the products of photosynthesis?

Products:  

Oxygen that is released into the atmosphere.

Glucose that is used by the plant as energy and to make other molecules such as starches and sucrose

If a molecule is a reactant, it will stay in the chloroplast, the reactants are light energy, carbon dioxide and water.

The products of photosynthesis also are ATP and NADPH

Based on your observations, what is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

solar energy + 6 CO2 + 6 H20 --------] C6H12O6 + 6O2

CO2: carbon dioxide

H20: Water

C6H12O6: Glucose

O2: Oxígen
