Plants perform a chemical reaction known as photosynthesis in which light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of sugars. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is displayed.  Which statements accurately describe the chemical reaction process that plants undergo? Select TWO correct answers.

• No new substances are produced during the process of photosynthesis since it is a chemical reaction.

• There are more carbon (C) atoms on the products side of the equation than there are on the reactants side.

• A new substance is produced during photosynthesis because photosynthesis is a chemical reaction.

• There are fewer hydrogen (H) atoms on the products side of the equation than there are on the reactants side.

• The number of oxygen (O) atoms is the same on the reactants and products side of the chemical reaction.
