Detailed explanation-1: -Plants, during the process of photosynthesis, take up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use sunlight along with it to make their food. The gas produced as a result of photosynthesis is oxygen.
Detailed explanation-2: -During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are utilised as raw materials to make complex carbohydrates like sugars, while oxygen is usually emitted as a waste product. As a result, photosynthesis entails the consumption of carbon dioxide and the production of oxygen.
Detailed explanation-3: -Oxygen (O2) is evolved during photosynthetic electron transport when water is split by the oxygen-evolving complex to provide protons and electrons to the chloroplastic electron chain, thereby generating ATP and NADPH-the energy source and reducing power for plant metabolism.
