Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose and oxygen (formed during splitting of water) are the final products of photosynthesis. The glucose is stored in the form of starch in the plant cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch.

Detailed explanation-3: -During glycolysis, glucose ultimately breaks down into pyruvate and energy; a total of 2 ATP is derived in the process (Glucose + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi–> 2 Pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 H+ + 2 ATP + 2 H2O).

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Detailed explanation-5: -Products of Photosynthesis Process While oxygen is released in the atmosphere through the stomata as a bi-product, hydrogen is used by the plants to prepare their own food. On the other hand, glucose is produced and stored in the complex molecular structure of the plant cell.
