Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -During aerobic cellular respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen, forming ATP that can be used by the cell. Carbon dioxide and water are created as byproducts. The overall equation for aerobic cellular respiration is: In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP.
Detailed explanation-3: -In photosynthesis, energy from light is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose is the main product, while oxygen is the by-product of photosynthesis.
