Answer:The oxygen during photosynthesis comes from split water molecules. During photosynthesis, the plant absorbs water and carbon dioxide. After the absorption, the water molecules are disassembled and converted into sugar and oxygen.
The chloroplast is involved in both stages of photosynthesis. The light reactions take place in the thylakoid. There, water (H2O) is oxidized, and oxygen (O2) is released. All photosynthetic eukaryotic cells contain chloroplasts that use the radiant energy of sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates. As a byproduct of photosynthesis, oxygen gas is also released into the atmosphere through tiny openings in the leaves called stomata.
