Photosynthesis is the process used by plants and other autotrophs to make food by converting sunlight energy to chemical energy. Sort the substances into what is required for or goes INTO photosynthesis and what comes OUT or is produced in photosynthesis. What goes IN? What comes OUT?

For photosynthesis, the substances can be sorted as follows:

What goes IN:

– Water

– Carbon dioxide

– Sunlight

What comes OUT:

– Glucose

– Oxygen

Explanation: During photosynthesis, plants take in water (H2O) from the soil and carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air, using sunlight as energy to convert these into glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2). The glucose serves as food for the plant, while oxygen is released as a byproduct into the atmosphere. If you need more detail, feel free to check our extended services page for additional resources!
