Photosynthesis Identify the products in the following reaction that occurs in plants: Carbon dioxide and water react to produce glucose and oxygen.
In the diagram of photosynthesis shown here, fill in each blank with the appropriate term: (a) Sunlight; (b) $\mathrm{CO}_{2} ;$ (c) Oxygen; (d) $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} ;$ (e) ATP and NADPH; (f) ADP and NADP+; (g) Sugar; (h) Light reactions; (i) Calvin cycle.
Determine whether each of the following molecules is involved in the light reactions, the carbon reactions, or both and explain how: $\mathrm{O}_{2}, \mathrm{CO}_{2}$ carbohydrates, chlorophyll $a$, photons, NADPH, ATP, $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$.
