Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants use sunlight, along with water and carbon dioxide to make their own food. Oxygen and glucose are the by-products of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosystem II is the first membrane protein complex in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms in nature. It produces atmospheric oxygen to catalyze the photo-oxidation of water by using light energy. It oxidizes two molecules of water into one molecule of molecular oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose is the main product, while oxygen is the by-product of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.
