"One of the first clues to the mechanism of photosynthesis came from the discovery that the oxygen given off by plants through their stomata is derived from water and not from carbon dioxide." (Biology, Seventh Edition; Campbell, Reece. Chapter 10: Photosynthesis, page 184) It comes from the water

How do photosynthesis and respiration take part in O2 cycle?

During photosynthesis O2 is released by the photolysis of water whereas in respiration O2 is consumed in the breakdown of substrate(reserve food).In simple words , Photosynthesis release O2 while respiration requires O2.


What exchanges gases between the plant and the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

CO2 is taken in by the plants from the atmosphere and O2 is released during photosynthesis.


How many molecules of O2 are released for every CO2 molecule fixed by photosynthesis?

For every molecule of CO2 fixed during photosynthesis, one molecule of O2 is released. This process occurs during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis when water is split to release oxygen as a byproduct.


From what molecule does oxygen get released during photosynthesis?

It is about H2O liquid. It releases the o2 gas.


How is O2 involved in photosynthesis?

Oxygen (O2) is produced as a byproduct of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. During this process, water molecules are split, releasing oxygen atoms that combine to form O2 gas. This oxygen is then released into the atmosphere as a waste product of photosynthesis.


What is the oxygen formed during photosynthesis called?

Oxygen formed during photosynthesis is the gas O2.


What type of gas is released into air after photosynthesis?

Oxygen (O2) is released back into the air after photosynthesis occurs.


Where do the oxigens atoms in the O2 produced during photosynthesis come from?

The oxygen atoms in O2 produced during photosynthesis come from water molecules (H2O) that are split during the light-dependent reactions in the chloroplasts of plant cells. This process, known as photolysis, releases oxygen as a byproduct.


What is oxygen produced as during photosynthesis?

Diatomic Oxygen - O2.


What unused bi-products will you use during photosynthesis?

O2 is the unused byproduct of photosynthesis, that you use during cellular respiration.


What product is made during photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis produces O2 and Glucose which the plant equivalent of human defecation.Photosynthesis is the conversion of sunlight into ATP. ATP is used and burned inside the plan. What's is left is the unusable parts of the process which is converted to O2 and Glucose and released from the plant. We in turn breath in the O2 and exchange it for CO2, which the plant need for photosynthesis.


What two things are provided during photosynthesis?

Theri is o2 as a byproduct too. Glucose and O2 are results.
