What are the products (outputs) of photosynthesis? (Choose more than one)

• carbon dioxide

• sugar (glucose)

• water

• oxygen

What are the reactants (inputs) of photosynthesis? (Choose more than one)

• carbon dioxide

• sugar (glucose)

• water

• oxygen

Which is the correct equation for photosynthesis? It describes what starts the proces and what is made as a result.

• C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

• 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

• 6CO₂ + 6O₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6H₂O

• C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6H₂O → 6CO₂ + 6O₂
