what are the products of photosynthesis
Answers
Answer:
Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide.
Photosynthesis (photon-light, synthesis-putting together) is an intracellular anabolic process in which glucose is synthesized from simple inorganic materials like carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light and chlorophyll with the development of oxygen as a by product.
Photosynthesis is considered as a redox reaction as it involves both reduction and oxidation reaction.
water is oxidized by the removal of H+ ions, while carbon dioxide reduced by the addition of H+ ions.
Hence, the final product of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose.
