Oxygen is not needed in photosynthesis. In fact it is produced by photosymthesis and eliminated from the plant as a waste product.
Plants of course do need some oxygen for the same reason that we do. They use oxygen in respiration - the process in which food is 'burned' to release energy. However photosynthesis produces more oxygen than the plant uses up in respiration, so the excess isremovedfrom the plant into the atmosphere.

What else can I help you with?
What is the product of photosynthesis that is needed for all life on earth?
That's because with photosynthesis, it is a system of retrieving energy for the sun in which one of its end products is oxygen. Then the oxygen is released into the atmosphere, and living creatures use this oxygen to breathe and stay living.
How many oxygen atoms are needed to start photosynthesis reaction?
In the first step of photosynthesis, which is light-dependent, two water molecules are needed to start the reaction. Each water molecule contains two oxygen atoms, so a total of four oxygen atoms are needed.
What two compounds are needed for photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis; Water+Carbon dioxide------(sunlight, with photosynthesis)---> Glucose (a type of sugar)+ Oxygen 6H2O+6CO2------------>6C6H12O6+ 6O2
A by-product of photosynthesis which is necessary for respiration is?
Respiration is the reverse process of photosynthesis.Respiration:C6H12O6 + H2O --> CO2 + H2OPhotosynthesis:CO2 + H2O --> C6H12O6 + H2OTherefore, both products of photosynthesis are needed for respiration to occur.
What product of photosynthesis is needed by both plants and other organisms for cellular respiration?
The product of photosynthesis needed by both plants and other organisms for cellular respiration is glucose. Glucose is a sugar molecule that serves as a source of energy for living organisms. It is produced during photosynthesis in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
What are the substances needed for photosynthesis and what substances are produced during photosynthesis?
CO2 and water is needed. Oxygen and glucose are produced
What are the substance needed for photosynthesis what substance are produced during photosynthesis and?
CO2 and water is needed. Oxygen and glucose are produced
Which of these is not needed for photosynthesis A chlorophyll B sunlight C oxygen D glucose E water?
Oxygen and glucose is not needed for photosynthesis. Technically, water is needed only to keep the plant alive but, like oxygen and glucose, it does not play a role in photosynthesis. Sunlight IS needed, and chlorophyll must be present to absorb the sunlight.
What chemical substance in needed for photosynthesis?
Sugar and oxygen
What is the product of photosynthesis that is needed for all life on earth?
That's because with photosynthesis, it is a system of retrieving energy for the sun in which one of its end products is oxygen. Then the oxygen is released into the atmosphere, and living creatures use this oxygen to breathe and stay living.
Two gasses needed for photosynthesis?
photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water to release oxygen.
What is the waste product for plants of photosynthesis?
The waste product for plants in photosynthesis is oxygen. During photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen. The oxygen is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct of the process.
What are the substances needed for photosynthesis and what substances are produced?
CO2 and water is needed. Oxygen and glucose are produced
What gas is needed for combustion at the same time a product of photosynthesis?
Oxygen is needed for combustion, while it is also a byproduct of photosynthesis. This process showcases the interconnectedness of biological and physical processes on Earth.
How many oxygen atoms are needed to start photosynthesis reaction?
In the first step of photosynthesis, which is light-dependent, two water molecules are needed to start the reaction. Each water molecule contains two oxygen atoms, so a total of four oxygen atoms are needed.

Photosynthesis; Water+Carbon dioxide------(sunlight, with photosynthesis)---> Glucose (a type of sugar)+ Oxygen 6H2O+6CO2------------>6C6H12O6+ 6O2
What are raw materials needed for photosynthesis and what are their products?
the chemical equation for photosynthesis is: water + carbon dioxide + sunlight = oxygen + glucose so the first three are the requirments and the last two are the final product of the process
