What element is both a product of photosynthesis and a reactant in respiration?

The element is oxygen. Oxygen is produced during photosynthesis as a byproduct when water is split, and it is then used as a reactant in the process of cellular respiration to release energy from glucose.


When was oxygen created?

Oxygen was not created but rather first produced through biological processes known as photosynthesis, which began around 3.5 billion years ago by cyanobacteria. This process altered the Earth's atmosphere by releasing oxygen as a byproduct, eventually paving the way for the development of aerobic organisms.


What compound and element is produced after photosynthesis?

Oxygen is the element produced after photosynthesis.


Is photosynthesis an element?

No, it is not an element. Photosynthesis is a chemical process mainly found in plants when they use the energy from the sunlight.


What supplies oxygen?

Plants and certain types of bacteria are responsible for producing oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Plants take in carbon dioxide and water, using sunlight to create oxygen as a byproduct. Additionally, algae in the ocean also contribute to the production of oxygen through photosynthesis.


What releases oxygen in photosynthesis?

Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), trees and grass absorb carbon dioxide and water. Within the chloroplasts of these organisms photosynthesis occurs (using sunlight as an energy source), reslting in sugar which is used by the plant, and releasing oxygen which the plant does not use.


What elements required by plants does NOT come directly from the soil?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an essential element for plants, and it is not directly obtained from the soil. Plants absorb CO2 from the atmosphere during photosynthesis to produce carbohydrates and release oxygen as a byproduct.


Explain why the sun is important for life on earth?

The sun provides energy for plants so they can conduct photosynthesis similar to how animals use sugar for energy however the byproduct of photosynthesis would be oxygen and this element is needed to sustain life on Earth.


What happens to carbon during photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide is converted into organic compounds, especially sugars, using the energy from sunlight and water.


What is an unreactive gas element that in radioactive form is a byproduct of most nuclear explosions?

Helium (or alpha particles)


Which compound is formed as the common product of the process of photosynthesis?

Glucose is formed by photosynthesis. The other product is oxygen, but that is an element.


What element needed for photosynthesis do plants get through their stomata?

carbon dioxide
