Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What do plants give off after photosynthesis?
A
Oxygen
B
carbon
C
nitrogen
D
hydrogen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose. The plant then releases the oxygen back into the air, and stores energy within the glucose molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants use photosynthesis to capture carbon dioxide and then release half of it into the atmosphere through respiration. Plants also release oxygen into the atmosphere through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants prepare their own food from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. During this process oxygen is released.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants produce oxygen as a waste product of making sugar using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. If a plant needs energy, but doesn’t have sunlight, then it can burn the sugar that it made back when it had sunlight, and doing so requires oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -Once they have water and carbon dioxide, they can use energy from sunlight to make their food. The leftovers from making the plant food is another gas called oxygen. This oxygen is released from the leaves into the air.
