Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process of synthesis of food by plants using carbon dioxide and water in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. Oxygen (O2) is released during the process as a waste product. Hence, oxygen is not essential for the process of photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plants do not need oxygen for photosynthesis. Instead, oxygen is produced during photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
