In oxygenic photosynthesis in plants, which substances are the primary chemical inputs (reactants) used to produce sugars?
A
Carbon dioxide and water
B
ATP and NADPH
C
Glucose and oxygen
D
Oxygen and water
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the overall process of oxygenic photosynthesis, which converts light energy into chemical energy stored in sugars.
Recall the general photosynthesis equation: \$6\,CO_2 + 6\,H_2O + light \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6\,O_2$.
Identify the reactants (inputs) on the left side of the equation, which are carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) and water (\(H_2O\)).
Recognize that ATP and NADPH are energy carriers produced during the light-dependent reactions, not the primary inputs for sugar synthesis.
Conclude that the primary chemical inputs used to produce sugars in oxygenic photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.
