What do plants need/what goes into photosynthesis/what are the reactants of photosynthesis?

To perform photosynthesis, plants need three things: carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. for photosynthesis. ... The energy from light causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water and reorganizes them to make the sugar (glucose) and oxygen gas.

The process of making food by Green plants (autotroph) is called photosynthesis. For performing photosynthesis water, sunlight and carbon dioxide are used by the plants.

They take sunlight from sun, water from soil and carbon dioxide gas from the air present around us. The leaves have small holes called stomata which allows air to enter the plant. Leaves also contains chlorophyll in them which traps sunlight and helps in making food. Roots of plants absorbs water and Minerals from the soil and transfers them leaves through stem.

The chemical equation for the photosynthesis

is -

carbon dioxide + water -> glucose + oxygen + energy

well, you see. the answer to your question is quite simple. the thing that is big, powerful, and over 9,000 is your mom.

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
