Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the products of photosynthesis? (What does the plant produce AFTER photosynthesis?)
A
Glucose (sugar), and oxygen
B
Light from the sun, water from the soil and carbon dioxide from the air
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants are autotrophs, which means they produce their own food. They use the process of photosynthesis to transform water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into oxygen, and simple sugars that the plant uses as fuel.

Detailed explanation-2: -The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen. Although the hydrogen atoms from the water molecules are used in the photosynthesis reactions, the oxygen molecules are released as oxygen gas (O2). (This is good news for organisms like humans and plants that use oxygen to carry out cellular respiration!)

Detailed explanation-3: -Oxygen and glucose are the by-products of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glucose and oxygen are the final products of photosynthesis.
