What gas is being released during photosynthesis
A
sulfur
B
carbon dioxide
C
oxygen
D
hydrogen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants synthesise their own food from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. During this process, oxygen is released as a by-product.

Detailed explanation-2: -In photosynthesis, solar energy is harvested and converted to chemical energy in the form of glucose using water and carbon dioxide. Oxygen is released as a byproduct.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants use photosynthesis to capture carbon dioxide and then release half of it into the atmosphere through respiration. Plants also release oxygen into the atmosphere through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The chloroplast is involved in both stages of photosynthesis. The light reactions take place in the thylakoid. There, water (H2O) is oxidized, and oxygen (O2) is released.
