I have a couple questions.

What molecules are the reactants and products of photosynthesis?

What molecules ar the reactants and products of repsiration?

Where does photosynthesis occur in the oceans?

Is gas more soluble in warm or cold seawater?

It is a question of depth actually. Photosynthesis requires light and light isn't present at a certain depth. So most photosynthesis occurs in what is called the photic zone-that's the region up to where light can penetrate and the process of photosynthesis can be sustained via photosynthesizing microorganisms. Needless to say, the larger photosynthesizing oceanic plant life is found mostly on the continental shelves.

What molecules are the reactants and products of photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 12H2O and light = C6H12O6 + 6O2 +6H2O

what molecules ar the reactants and products of repsiration?
the reactants are C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

Where does photosynthesis occur in the oceans? Depends on depth and mixing in coastal waters can be as little as 5 meters and in the open ocean the photic zone can stretch to 200meters

Is gas more soluble in warm or cold seawater? Cold
