1. the main product of photosynthesis is:

lipids
proteins
carbohydrates
nucleic acids

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and water ($H_2O$) to produce energy. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is $6CO_2 + 6H_2O+light\ energy
ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$. Here, $C_6H_{12}O_6$ (glucose) is a carbohydrate. Lipids are made through processes like fatty - acid synthesis, proteins through translation (using amino - acids as building blocks) and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) through replication and transcription processes which are not the main outcome of photosynthesis.

Answer:

Carbohydrates
