Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is NOT true about the products of photosynthesis?
A
Some sugar is made into other compounds, such as cellulose.
B
Some sugar is stored in the plant’s cells for later use.
C
carbon dioxide is given off through the leaves.
D
The products are used by both plants and animals for energy.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: During photosynthesis, oxygen is not released statement is NOT correct about photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -From the above information we have found that carbon dioxide is not released during photosynthesis. Instead of it oxygen is released. Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a product of respiration and not photosynthesis. The CO2 released in the air is then absorbed or fixed by plants during photosynthesis. Hence this option is correct.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis is an anabolic process of manufacturing of organic compounds. It is characterised by reduction of CO2 and oxidation of water. It decreases the concentration of CO2 in atmosphere but increases the concentration of O2.
