Question
photosynthesis and cellular respiration
$6\ce{co_{2}} + 6\ce{h_{2}o} \longrightarrow \boxed{\ce{c_{6}h_{12}o_{6}} + 6\ce{o_{2}}}$
in a chemical equation,
what do we call the result of
the reaction?
reactant
product
In a chemical equation, reactants are the substances that undergo the reaction (on the left side of the arrow), and products are the substances formed as a result of the reaction (on the right side of the arrow). In the given photosynthesis equation, $\ce{C6H12O6 + 6O2}$ are on the right side, so they are the result of the reaction, called products. Reactants are $\ce{6CO2 + 6H2O}$ (left side).
