During the process of photosynthesis, oxygen is released as a byproduct when water molecules are split in the light-dependent reactions of the chloroplasts. This oxygen is then released into the atmosphere.

Where does the oxygen made during photosynthesis go to?

The oxygen produced during photosynthesis is released into the atmosphere through tiny pores on the leaves called stomata. It is a byproduct of the process and is essential for respiration in plants and animals.


What relationship between photosynthesis and photo respiration?

Photosynthesis is the process of turning carbon dioxide and water (using light) into energy and oxygen. This process happen in autotrophic cells during the day. At night they go through respiration where they turn oxygen into carbon dioxide.


Where does the oxygen go when it breaks away from the water molecule?

No, a hydrogen ions separates. H2O --> H+ + OH-


Which process in plant cells uses chlorophyll?

Photosynthesis Water, Sunlight, and Carbon Dioxide go into the chloroplast, and glucose and oxygen come out.


Where does the oxygen produced in photosynthesis go?

The oxygen that is produced in photosynthesis goes into the air.


Do plants keep us alive?

Yes, because plants go through a process called photosynthesis. When plants go through this process, they let out oxygen.


Where does extra oxygen go after photosynthesis?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'leftover' as oxygen is one of the products of photosynthesis. If photosynthesis is happening slowly, the plant cell may use all the oxygen for respiration, but in bright light when photosynthesis is rapid, the excess oxygen diffuses out into the air.


What process is common in plants?

photosynthesis is the process in which plants change sunlight into energy


Do plants make carbon dioxide?

No, plants use carbon dioxide to go through the process of photosynthesis to make oxygen.


Does a tree release co2 whenit is cut down?

A tree takes in CO2, It gives off O2 or oxygen during daylight. The process is called photosynthesis. During the night a tree's life processes create carbon dioxide.


What season do trees go through photosynthesis?

When the trees are in season receiving oxygen such as spring and summer. In winter and fall, there are no leaves so they can not go through this process


What gas do plants use in the process of making food?

Oxygen! O2. The proses that plants go through to get food (aka glucose) is photosynthesis. The formula for photosynthesis is:6Co2 (carbon dioxide) + 6H2O (water) --> C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2 (oxygen)
