In the process of photosynthesis, plants convert carbon dioxide (\(\text{CO}_2\)) and water (\(\text{H}_2\text{O}\)) into glucose (\(\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6\)) and oxygen (\(\text{O}_2\)) using sunlight. The chemical equation for this process can be written as:
[tex]\[
6 \text{CO}_2 + 6 \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6 \text{O}_2
\][/tex]
Here are the reactants and products of the equation:
- Reactants: \(6 \text{CO}_2\) (carbon dioxide) and \(6 \text{H}_2\text{O}\) (water).
- Products: \(\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6\) (glucose) and \(6 \text{O}_2\) (oxygen).
From the provided options, the correct representation of the reactants in the photosynthesis process is:
[tex]\[
6 \text{CO}_2 + 6 \text{H}_2\text{O}
\][/tex]
So the correct answer is:
[tex]\[
6 \text{CO}_2 + 6 \text{H}_2\text{O}
\][/tex]
