Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process of synthesis of food by plants using carbon dioxide and water in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. Oxygen (O2) is released during the process as a waste product. Hence, oxygen is not essential for the process of photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Oxygen is mainly released as a by-product by photolysis of water and released in the atmosphere. Thus, it is not required for photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
