The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 12H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
This could be simplified to (and is usually seen as): 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
From the equations above, it could be seen that sunlight is not a reactant in photosynthesis. Reactants are substances that takes part in and undergoes change during a reaction. Sunlight does not; hence sunlight is not a reactant in photosynthesis.

A reactant in photosynthesis that is a liquid?
Water is a reactant in photosythesis that is a liquid.
What is the reactant gas in photosynthesis and a product of photosynthesis?
The overall reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water, and the overall products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.The overall reactants of aerobic respiration are glucose and oxygen, and the overall products of respiration are carbon dioxide and water.
What term best describes oxygen in photosynthesis?
Reactant
What is a reactant photosynthesis?
There are two reactants. They are CO2 and water
What is gas reactant for respiration?
The gas that is a reactant in aerobic cellular respiration is oxygen. C6H12O6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O
A reactant in photosynthesis that is a liquid?
Water is a reactant in photosythesis that is a liquid.
What substance is a product of cellular respiration and a reactant in photosynthesis?
Glucose is a product of photosynthesis and a reactant in cellular respiration.
What gaseous substance that is a reactant of respiration is a product of photosynthesis?
That would be oxygen. Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H20 --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O O2 is oxygen, H2O is water, CO2 is carbon dioxide
What is photosynthesis reactant?
Carbon dioxide :)
Is a reactant of photosynthesis?
Glucose is a product.
What is the reactant gas in photosynthesis and a product of photosynthesis?
The overall reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water, and the overall products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.The overall reactants of aerobic respiration are glucose and oxygen, and the overall products of respiration are carbon dioxide and water.
What is the water equation?
In order to have a balanced equation, adding the reactant H2 And O2 (H2+O2) have to come out equal on the product side and the reactant side. This would look like H2+O2 = H2O2
What term best describes oxygen in photosynthesis?
Reactant
What is a reactant photosynthesis?
There are two reactants. They are CO2 and water
In photosynthesis is chlorophyll considered a reactant?
No, its not a reactant nor a product.It is conducting the reaction. It is similar to a baker in a bakery
What is gas reactant for respiration?
The gas that is a reactant in aerobic cellular respiration is oxygen. C6H12O6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O
How do photosynthesis and respiration take part in O2 cycle?
During photosynthesis O2 is released by the photolysis of water whereas in respiration O2 is consumed in the breakdown of substrate(reserve food).In simple words , Photosynthesis release O2 while respiration requires O2.
