It creates oxygen as a byproduct when H2O is split for energy during the reaction. This oxygen is an important part of cellular respiration, as it is the final electron receptor of the electron transport chain. The electron transport chain allows large amounts of ATP to be created to power complex organisms, such as humans!

How is respiration dependent on photosynthisis?

Respiration is dependant on photosynthesis in one major way. Photosynthesis is where plants use carbon dioxide and water to make oxygen and sugar. Cellular Respiration (how we breathe) requires glucose (sugar) and oxygen. Therefore photosynthesis is required for respiration because without photosynthesis, no oxygen would be created, which means we would have no oxygen to use for our own respiration (breathing).


What process do plant use to make sugar and oxygen and add carbon to an ecosystem?

Plants use photosynthesis to produce sugar and oxygen. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into glucose using sunlight, which releases oxygen as a byproduct. This process helps to maintain the carbon balance in an ecosystem.


What are the products of phototsynthesis?

The products of photosynthesis are glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen. In the process of photosynthesis, plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose as their energy source and release oxygen as a byproduct.


Why plants use photosynthesis to make?

Sugar


Which oxygen is used to make food?

Plants use molecular oxygen (O2) from the air during the process of photosynthesis to make food. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide (CO2) is converted into glucose (sugar) and oxygen gas (O2) is released as a byproduct.


Why is there oxygen in Earth's atmosphere?

The oxygen is the product of photosynthesis. Plants and algae use the energy of sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen. The plants use the sugar as food and turn some into cellulose to make cell walls. Oxygen is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct.

What are the raw materials photosynthesis produces?

The raw materials that photosynthesis produces are glucose (sugar) and oxygen. During photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide and water to make glucose, which is used for energy, and oxygen, which is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct.


Can animals photosynthesis yes or no?

Do you know what photosynthesis is? It's when plants take energy, water and carbon dioxide and create sugar and oxygen. Cellular respiration is what animals use, which is the opposite of photosynthesis where in the atoms of an animal, sugar and oxygen is used to create energy, water and carbon dioxide. Animals CAN NOT use photosynthesis.


The product of photosynthesis is what?

The product of photosynthesis is Glucose and O2 is a byproduct.
