Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the overall process of photosynthesis, which is how plants convert light energy into chemical energy.
Identify the main reactants in photosynthesis: light energy, carbon dioxide (CO\_2), and water (H\_2O).
Recall the general photosynthesis equation: \$6CO\_2 + 6H\_2O + light \ energy \rightarrow C\_6H\_{12}O\_6 + 6O\_2$.
Recognize that the products of photosynthesis are glucose (a sugar) and oxygen gas (O\_2).
Conclude that plants primarily produce glucose and oxygen using light energy, carbon dioxide, and water during photosynthesis.
