The diagram which correctly labels the reactants and products of photosynthesis is the third diagram.

  • Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
  • Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, which are organelles found in the cells of plants and algae.
  • The process requires three main things: light, carbon dioxide, and water.
  • Chlorophyll, a pigment found in chloroplasts, absorbs light energy and converts it into chemical energy.
  • This energy is used to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen ions.
  • The oxygen is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct, while the hydrogen ions are used to create a chemical gradient that powers the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a molecule that stores energy.
  • Carbon dioxide from the air is also taken up by the plant and used to create glucose through a series of chemical reactions called the Calvin cycle.
  • The glucose can be used immediately for energy or stored for later use.
  • In addition to producing glucose, photosynthesis also plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, making it essential for life on Earth.
