What effect does photosynthesis have on the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis is the source of virtually all the free oxygen in the earth's atmosphere.
What process is responsible for producing earths oxygen?
photosynthesis
What molecule is during the light reaction of photosynthesis of release oxygen?
Water is the molecule that is split during the light reaction of photosynthesis when releasing oxygen.
What was the earths atmosphere before photosynthesis?
Without life because when plants do photosynthesis, they produce oxygen.
Where does the oxygen produced in the dark reaction of photosynthesis come from?
It is obtained from air. Oxygen is not is not produced in dark reaction but in light reaction

What process adds oxygen to earths atmosphere?
Photosynthesis
What process is responsible for producing earths oxygen?

What molecule is during the light reaction of photosynthesis of release oxygen?
Water is the molecule that is split during the light reaction of photosynthesis when releasing oxygen.
What added oxygen to earths early atmosphere?
Photosynthesis by plants
What produces most of the earths atmospheric oxygen?
Plant Photosynthesis
Is a product of the photosynthesis reaction?
Gluecose and Oxygen
What is the Product of the photosynthesis reaction?
Gluecose and Oxygen
What component of the earths atmosphere exists as a result of photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide into oxygen. Therefore, much of the oxygen in our atmosphere is present due to photosynthesis.
What was the earths atmosphere before photosynthesis?
Without life because when plants do photosynthesis, they produce oxygen.
Where does the oxygen produced in the dark reaction of photosynthesis come from?
It is obtained from air. Oxygen is not is not produced in dark reaction but in light reaction
What gas is released after light reaction of photosynthesis?
Oxygen
