Drag and drop the correct response to complete the statement about photosynthesis and the carbon cycle.

Question

Photosynthesis is the ______ reaction by which plants produce complex food molecules (sugars). This process requires an energy input from ______ to occur. In this reaction, the _______ carbon dioxide and water combine to form _________ such as carbon-based organic molecules and oxygen. Photosynthesis is an important part of the carbon cycle because It removes _______ from the atmosphere and through chemical reactions, rearranges the atoms into other forms of usable carbon molecules for the plant and releases _______ back into the atmosphere.

Options:

Reactants
Products
Carbon Dioxide
Oxygen
Sunlight
Chemical

After you use one of the options you cant use the same one you used already on one blank.

Answer 1

Photosynthesis is the __chemical__ reaction by which plants produce complex food molecules (sugars). This process requires an energy input from __sunlight__ to occur. In this reaction, the __reactants__ carbon dioxide and water combine to form __products__ such as carbon-based organic molecules and oxygen. Photosynthesis is an important part of the carbon cycle because it removes __carbon dioxide__ from the atmosphere and through chemical reactions, rearranges the atoms into other forms of usable carbon molecules for the plant and releases __oxygen__ back into the atmosphere.
