In photosynthesis, the overall reaction involves the following reactants and products:
**Reactants:**
1. Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
2. Water (H₂O)
3. Light energy (from the Sun)
**Products:**
1. Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)
2. Oxygen (O₂)
The simplified equation for photosynthesis is:
\[
6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O + \text{light energy} \rightarrow C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂
\]
So, to match the reactants and products:
- Carbon dioxide and water are the reactants.
- Glucose and oxygen are the products.
