What do animals and humans make that plants need? A.Carbon Dioxide or CO 2 Q.What do plants make for us that we need? A. Oxygen and food (Glucose) for energy

Q : W hat are the raw materials/ingredients for photosynthesis? A: 6 Carbon Dioxide/CO 2 molecules and 6 Water/H 2 O molecules Q: What are the products of photosynthesis? A: 1 Glucose/C 6 H 12 O 6 molecule and 6 Water/H 2 O molecules Q: Why is the Sun’s energy over the arrow in the photosynthesis equation? A: Because the sun’s energy doesn’t change during photosynthesis Write the chemical equation for photosynthesis
