What is being produced during photosynthesis?
A
sugar and oxygen
B
sugar and carbon dioxide
C
glucose
D
gases
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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: -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-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.
