Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A reactant is a substance that take part or begin a chemical reaction and it is consumed during the reaction to form products. Reactant is on the left of the reaction.

For examples during photosynthesis, the reactants are carbondioxide, water and sunlight that give the product glucose and oxygen.

Carbondioxide, water and sunlight start the reaction and are consumed to produce glucose and oxygen.
