Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In the chemical reaction of photosynthesis, photoautotrophs combine carbon dioxide and water to produce sugar and which of the following?
A
Oxygen
B
G3P
C
ATP
D
3 PGA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the chemical reaction of photosynthesis, photoautotrophs combine carbon dioxide and water to produce sugar and which of the following? Explanation: Sugar (glucose) and oxygen are the two products of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by-products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water as starting reactants (Figure 5.5). After the process is complete, photosynthesis releases oxygen and produces carbohydrate molecules, most commonly glucose.

Detailed explanation-5: -Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. In a process driven by light energy, glucose molecules (or other sugars) are constructed from water and carbon dioxide, and oxygen is released as a byproduct.
