Chemical Reactions

Substance that are broken down : reactants
New substance that are made : products
How the equation works
?
? —> Carbon Dioxide + Water
=
? —> Glucose + Oxygen
In this chemical reaction light is a catalyst (a substance that increase the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical changes)

Photosynthesis is not just a chemical reaction
— It’s a series of chemical reactions that happen inside plant cells

Reactants:
Water
Water coming up from roots —> reach leaves —> evaporate(some is used for photosynthesis)
?
Carbon Dioxide is taken from air:
When water evaporate plants release the water
and import in
Products:
Glucose:
a type of carbohydrate
a type of sugar
Glucose transport to all part of plants
—> as energy
—> as a source of materials to make new cells
:
Release
into air from leaves
Catalyst:
Light
not a substance
not a chemical reactant
not turned into product during photosynthesis
provide energy needed for photosynthesis
