Understand that a chemical reaction involves the transformation of substances into new substances with different chemical properties.
Recognize that photosynthesis is a process where plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy.
Identify the reactants in photosynthesis: carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
Identify the products of photosynthesis: glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).
Conclude that photosynthesis is a chemical reaction because it involves the conversion of CO2 and H2O into glucose and O2, forming new substances and storing energy in chemical bonds.
