Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Two products produced by plants via photosynthesis are ____ and ____
A
Glucose and water
B
Carbon dioxide and glucose
C
Oxygen and glucose
D
The Sun and water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are released as byproducts.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch. Cellulose is used in building cell walls. Starch is stored in seeds and other plant parts as a food source.
