Answer:

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is usually represented by the equation Carbon dioxide + water + light --> glucose + oxygen.

Therefore, A substance is water and B is glucose

D is incorrect because it combines to form oxygen, not hydrogen

It combines with carbon dioxide and light to form glucose
