In a situation like photosynthesis would the reactnats be Carbon Dioxide and Water, or would it include sunlight and chlorophyll...or the whole equation.

Currently, I got for the reactants of photosyntheis Carbon Dioxide and Hydrogen

The equation for photosynthesis is CO^2 + h2O --> (Sunlight + Chlorophyll) --> C6 H12 O6 + O2

And for cellular respiration, for my reactants I have Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen.

Equation for it is C6 H12 O6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + Energy

Are those both right, or am I missing something? ;)

oh, and also for the products, for photosynthesis would it be

Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen

and for Cellular respiration

Carbon Dioxide, Water, Energy
