glucose and oxygen are the reactants in this equation, glucose come from the sugars broken down from your food and oxygen come from your lungs, passing through the thin cell wall of the bronchioles into your bloodstream which are in turn absorbed by the mitochondria and the process of respiration takes place

The reactants for the Calvin cycle, such as carbon dioxide and ATP, are obtained from the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis. During this phase, plants capture sunlight and convert it to energy stored in ATP and NADPH, which are then used to drive the Calvin cycle reactions.
There are many sources of reactants. These reactants combine with other Earth sources to create the many products found today.
The reactants for photosynthesis come from the inside of the plant and the environment. The reactants are carbon dioxide, water and sunlight.
Some reactants, like chlorophyll are found readily within the plant, whereas sunlight is provided by the sun and water from the ground/rain.
The reactant in the Calvin cycle is carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide is fixed and converted into organic molecules, such as glucose, through a series of enzymatic reactions in the Calvin cycle.
Carbon dioxide is the reactant used in the Calvin cycle. It is combined with ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) by the enzyme Rubisco to initiate the process of carbon fixation and ultimately produce glucose.
