Drag the labels onto the equation to identify the inputs and outputs of photosynthesis.

The inputs are: CO2,  H2O , Light.

The outputs are: Glucose, O2.

Photosynthesis consists of using carbon dioxide, water and solar energy to synthesize organic substances (carbohydrates) and oxygen. This phenomenon occurs in choloroplasts, a plant-specific organelle, at the level of the thylakoid membranes where photosystems I and II and cytochromes are located.

It takes six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water to synthesize a molecule of glucose, releasing six molecules of oxygen, thanks to the light energy.

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2

cells spend most of their time in interphase
