Question

Which describes the role of oxygen in photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Answer: The oxygen gas is a product, so it is released by the plant.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is defined as the process by which the producers make glucose with the help of carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

The chemical equation representing this reaction follows:

$6CO_2+6H_2O+\text{light}\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2$

In the above reaction, oxygen gas is written on the product side. So, it is formed by the plant and is released.

Hence, the oxygen gas is a product, so it is released by the plant.
