Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
in addition to oxygen, what do plants produce during photosynthesis?
A
water
B
sugar
C
carbon dioxide
D
light energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose. The plant then releases the oxygen back into the air, and stores energy within the glucose molecules.

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: -Photosynthesis is the process of creating sugar and oxygen from carbon dioxide, water and sunlight. It happens through a long series of chemical reactions. But it can be summarized like this: Carbon dioxide, water and light go in. Glucose, water and oxygen come out.

Detailed explanation-4: -During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, a gas, is combined with water and solar energy, and converted to carbohydrates, a solid. Formation of carbohydrates is a chemical way to store the sun’s energy as “food.” Carbohydrates produced from photosynthesis provide energy for all plant growth and maintenance.
