Question
what is released as a waste product of photosynthesis? oxygen carbon dioxide glucose water
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and water ($H_2O$) to produce glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$) and oxygen ($O_2$). The chemical equation for photosynthesis is \(6CO_2 + 6H_2O+light\ energy
ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2\). Carbon dioxide and water are reactants. Glucose is the main product used by the plant for energy and growth. Oxygen is a by - product (waste product) that is released into the atmosphere.
