Is oxygen released during photosynthesis

Answer 1

Oxygen molecules are not necessarily produced during photosynthesis. However, oxygen is needed for photosynthesis, along with sunlight, water, and other nutrients. They are all taken in by the plant through various entrances and converted into the simple sugar, glucose. The bi-product of this production, is carbon-dioxide, which is excreted from the plant's cells back into the environment.

Answer 2

Yes, oxygen is eleased during the process of photosynthesis.

Answer 3

Oxygen is released as a waste product from the light dependent reaction, done away with before the Calvin Cycle begins, because it is unnecessary during the Calvin Cycle.

Answer 4

In photosystem two water molecules' electrons are taken by p680 when its own electrons are excited by photons from the sun . So oxygen would be released when the p680 pigment is oxidized.

Answer 5

6H2O + 6CO2 + Light = C6H12O6 + 6O2
