Best Answer

The oxygen produced in photosynthesis is derived from the carbon dioxide the organism combines with water. The chemical reaction is driven by energy derived from light. The products of the reaction are oxygen and sugar, and the reaction isn't too difficult to understand. It looks like this:

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

The carbon dioxide and water will, driven by the energy of light, chemically react to form sugar and oxygen.

What was the affect that photosynthesizing had on the ancient atmosphere?

How is oxygen produced in plants?

They absorb carbon dioxide and sunlight and turn it into chemical energy in the leaves using chlorophyll as a catalyst. This releases glucose (a sugar), and oxygen. Most of the oxygen released as a result of photosynthesis is from water which undergoes a photo-oxidation process. Photosynthesis is very complex and is involved with the production of sugars and the transfer of energy, as well as the manufacture of other compounds such as amino acids. This is called the photolysis process.
