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: -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: -The correct answer is ‘photosynthetic bacteria’.
Detailed explanation-4: -Oxygen (O2) is evolved during photosynthetic electron transport when water is split by the oxygen-evolving complex to provide protons and electrons to the chloroplastic electron chain, thereby generating ATP and NADPH-the energy source and reducing power for plant metabolism.
