Let’s go step by step to answer the questions based on Model 1.

Question 1a: What two substances are needed for photosynthesis?
Look at the top part of the diagram — it shows “Photosynthesis” happening in the chloroplast. The arrow pointing INTO the chloroplast says:
> CO₂ + H₂O → (with light energy) → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
So, the things going IN (needed) are:
- Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
- Water (H₂O)
✔ Answer:
Carbon dioxide and water

Question 1b: What two products of photosynthesis?
Products are what come OUT of the process. From the same equation above:
> ...→ C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
That means:
- Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) — a sugar that stores energy
- Oxygen (O₂) — released into the air
✔ Answer:
Glucose and oxygen
*(Note: In your image, you wrote “GLUCOSE and OXYGEN (C6H12O6 + O2)” — that’s correct!)*

Now let’s double-check using the diagram:
- Arrows going INTO chloroplast: CO₂ and H₂O → those are reactants (needed).
- Arrows coming OUT of chloroplast: glucose (goes to mitochondria or stored) and O₂ (released) → those are products.
Everything matches.

Final Answer:
1a. Carbon dioxide and water
1b. Glucose and oxygen
