Question: what are the inputs and outputs of photosynthesis? explore: drag each molecule from the molecules pane to the chloroplast on the photosynthesis pane. if a molecule is a reactant, it will stay in the chloroplast. (1 pt)
reactants:

observe: click add light and look at the output. what are the products of photosynthesis? (1 pt)

products:

summarize: although photosynthesis is a complex process involving many reactions, it can be summarized by a simplified formula that shows reactants (inputs) on the left and products (outputs) on the right. based on your observations, write a simplified formula for photosynthesis: (1 pt)

turn on show input/output formula to check.

challenge: to balance the inputs and outputs of photosynthesis, there should be the same number of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms on each side of the arrow. (2 pts)

is the formula balanced as written? why or why not?
