PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the byproduct of photosynthesis? What does the plant release?
A
Oxygen
B
Carbon Dioxide
C
Water
D
Glucose
Explanation: 

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

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants use sunlight, along with water and carbon dioxide to make their own food. Oxygen and glucose are the by-products of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -The oxygen released during photosynthesis is from the water. The plants will absorb water as well as carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Later these water molecules are converted into oxygen and sugar. The oxygen is then released into the atmosphere whereas the sugar molecules are stored for energy.
