During photosynthesis, water (H₂O) undergoes a chemical transformation where it is split into oxygen (O₂) and hydrogen ions (H⁺) through a process called photolysis, facilitated by light energy absorbed by chlorophyll. The oxygen is released as a byproduct, while the hydrogen ions are used in the synthesis of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) from carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the Calvin cycle. This process not only generates energy-rich organic compounds but also contributes to the oxygen supply in the atmosphere.
Oxygen is the gas released during the process of photosynthesis.
it is changed into oxygen
It gets released into the Atmosphere.
The raw materials are carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. They make or produce oxygen and glucose.
Photosynthesis
During the process of photosynthesis, light energy is converted to chemical energy.
photosynthesis is a process where plants reproduce.
Plants take in carbon dioxide gas during the process of photosynthesis.
The REACTANTS that link up are carbon dioxide and water.
The plant absorbs carbon dioxide during the process of photosynthesis.
Oxygen is the gas released during the process of photosynthesis.
it is changed into oxygen
Plants obtain oxygen during photosynthesis from water molecules.
Carbon dioxide is converted into organic compounds, especially sugars, using the energy from sunlight and water.
