What are the products of photosynthesis?
A
water and carbon dioxide
B
oxygen and glucose
C
oxygen and carbon dioxide
D
oxygen and water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen. Although the hydrogen atoms from the water molecules are used in the photosynthesis reactions, the oxygen molecules are released as oxygen gas (O2). (This is good news for organisms like humans and plants that use oxygen to carry out cellular respiration!)

Detailed explanation-3: -In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are released as byproducts.

Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore, the products of photosynthesis are Glucose and Oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -Photosynthesis is a process that uses organic chemicals like carbon dioxide and water to synthesize glucose in the presence of light. This reaction occurs inside the living plants in their green leaves. The end products of photosynthesis are glucose, oxygen, and water.
