In photosynthesis, the sun's light energy is captured by 

• roots
• stems
• fruits
• chlorophyll in leaves

In photosynthesis

• the light energy combines with carbondioxide and water to make glucose.
• the light energy combines with oxygen and water to make food.
• light energy combines with both carbon dioxide and oxygen to make food.

They byproducts of photosynthesis  are 

• carbon dioxide and water.
• carbon dioxide and oxygen
• oxygen and glucose
