No, carbon dioxide is used during photosynthesis. It is necessary for the Calvin-Benson cycle because it is attached to RuBP to start the cycle. This cycle ultimately produces glucose. However, carbon dioxide is made as a by-product of cellular respiration.

Is carbon dioxide used or produced during photosynthesis?

During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is used by plants to produce glucose. The carbon dioxide is taken in through the stomata on the leaves and is converted into glucose with the help of sunlight, water, and chlorophyll.


What is the carbon source used in photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide. In the light-independant reaction of photosynthesis (Calvin cycle) the enzyme RuBisCo catalyzes the carboxylation of RuBP with carbon dioxide, and catalyzes the primary chemcal reaction in which carbon permanently enters the biosphere.
