Just a second; you might be a tad mixed up here. Did you mean "Why is the waste product in photosynthesis carbon dioxide?"? Because then I can answer you.
You're wrong; CO2 is not the product of photosynthesis, but the reactant (or the "input" as opposed to the "output")
During photosynthesis plants take in water, carbon dioxide and sunlight, and release oxygen gas, as well as making glucose for its "food". Really complex process. But just for the sake of remembering you can just say that they just take off a carbon atom from the gas (but they don't; it's actually oxygen from the water that's released, but you'll learn about that later- it's a really complicated process).
However, in the process of respiration (which is NOT breathing!!! It's the process of releasing energy from food) all aerobic life (life which "breathes", including plants) take in Oxygen and release Carbon Dioxide (including plants), so in some ways plants are just continuously making and recycling Oxygen and Carbon dioxide...

What is a waste product of photosynthesis that organisms need for cellular respiration?
There are a handful of waste products that are products of a plant's respiration. Oxygen is one such waste product.
What does photosynthesis use and release?
Photosynthesis uses energy from the sun, water, carbon dioxide. It releases oxygen as a waste product from the process.
What is the role of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
The role of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis is in the creation of molecules that are used to make food for the plants. In cellular respiration, carbon dioxide is emitted as a waste product that is used by photosynthesizing cells to create new carbohydrates.
What do plants need to do to give people oxygen?
Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen as a waste product.
What photosynthesis waste product is formed in photosynthesis?
In aerobic respiration the waste products in photosynthesis are oxygen (O2) and water (H2O) and in anaerobic respiration, the waste products include carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) I think that's all! = D
How do forests give out carbon dioxide?
it is the waste product of photosynthesis
Is carbon dioxide a waste product of photosynthesis?
An example is carbon dioxide being emitted from car exhausts. Hope that helped.
What is the importace of air to the plants?
The plants use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen as a waste product.
What is a waste product of photosynthesis that organisms need for cellular respiration?
There are a handful of waste products that are products of a plant's respiration. Oxygen is one such waste product.
A waste product of respiration in animals that is used by plants to carry out photosynthesis is?
Carbon dioxide :)
In plants carbon dioxide and water are the waste product of which process?
photosynthesis i think....photosynthesis, cellular respiration, or fermentation
What is the natural cycle in which plants use carbon dioxide to produce oxygen?
Plants consume carbon dioxide in photosynthesis to produce glucose as the main product. Oxygen is a byproduct (or more accurately a waste product) of photosynthesis.
What is given off as a waste product of photosynthesis?
The gas given off as a waste product of photosynthesis is oxygen. Glucose is also made during photosynthesis. These products are made from carbon dioxide and water.
What do plants give off as a waste product but they need carbon dioxide to survive?
When they take in the Carbon Dioxide they release Oxygen, Oxygen is also a byproduct waste of photosynthesis which plants do use.
What does photosynthesis use and release?
Photosynthesis uses energy from the sun, water, carbon dioxide. It releases oxygen as a waste product from the process.
What waste produced by animals is used by plants?
Carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a waste product produced by animals (including humans of course) during respiration. Plants use this as part of the process of photosynthesis, which in turn creates oxygen (as a waste product).
Is the fate of the carbon dioxide the same in plants and animals?
No, in plants carbon dioxide is a raw material, or reactant, for photosynthesis. Plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. For animals, is is just a waste product.
