Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the two products that are formed in photosynthesis?
A
Oxygen and carbon dioxide
B
Water and oxygen
C
Oxygen and glucose
D
Water and glucose
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: -Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose.

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