Just a second; you might be a tad mixed up here. Did you mean "Why is the waste product in photosynthesis carbon dioxide?"? Because then I can answer you.
You're wrong; CO2 is not the product of photosynthesis, but the reactant (or the "input" as opposed to the "output")
During photosynthesis plants take in water, carbon dioxide and sunlight, and release oxygen gas, as well as making glucose for its "food". Really complex process. But just for the sake of remembering you can just say that they just take off a carbon atom from the gas (but they don't; it's actually oxygen from the water that's released, but you'll learn about that later- it's a really complicated process).
However, in the process of respiration (which is NOT breathing!!! It's the process of releasing energy from food) all aerobic life (life which "breathes", including plants) take in Oxygen and release Carbon Dioxide (including plants), so in some ways plants are just continuously making and recycling Oxygen and Carbon dioxide...
What else can I help you with?
What is a waste product of photosynthesis that organisms need for cellular respiration?
There are a handful of waste products that are products of a plant's respiration. Oxygen is one such waste product.
What is the valuable gas that is a waste product of photosynthesis?
Oxygen is the valuable gas that is a waste product of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and water, and in the presence of sunlight, convert it into glucose and oxygen.
What does photosynthesis use and release?
Photosynthesis uses energy from the sun, water, carbon dioxide. It releases oxygen as a waste product from the process.
What is the role of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
The role of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis is in the creation of molecules that are used to make food for the plants. In cellular respiration, carbon dioxide is emitted as a waste product that is used by photosynthesizing cells to create new carbohydrates.
What do plants need to do to give people oxygen?
Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen as a waste product.
Is carbon dioxide a waste product of photosynthesis?
An example is carbon dioxide being emitted from car exhausts. Hope that helped.
What is the importace of air to the plants?
The plants use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen as a waste product.
What is a waste product of photosynthesis that organisms need for cellular respiration?
There are a handful of waste products that are products of a plant's respiration. Oxygen is one such waste product.
Is carbon dioxide waste photosynthesis or respiration?
Carbon dioxide is a waste product of cellular respiration in organisms and is a raw material used in photosynthesis. During respiration, organisms produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct, while during photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide to produce glucose.
A waste product of respiration in animals that is used by plants to carry out photosynthesis is?
Carbon dioxide :)
In plants carbon dioxide and water are the waste product of which process?
photosynthesis i think....photosynthesis, cellular respiration, or fermentation
What is given off as a waste product of photosynthesis?
The gas given off as a waste product of photosynthesis is oxygen. Glucose is also made during photosynthesis. These products are made from carbon dioxide and water.
What is the natural cycle in which plants use carbon dioxide to produce oxygen?
Plants consume carbon dioxide in photosynthesis to produce glucose as the main product. Oxygen is a byproduct (or more accurately a waste product) of photosynthesis.
What is the valuable gas that is a waste product of photosynthesis?
Oxygen is the valuable gas that is a waste product of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and water, and in the presence of sunlight, convert it into glucose and oxygen.
What waste product is made from photosynthesis?
Two waste products of photosynthesis are O2 ( oxygen) and water.
What does photosynthesis use and release?
Photosynthesis uses energy from the sun, water, carbon dioxide. It releases oxygen as a waste product from the process.
What is the waste product of photosynthesis?
The waste product of photosynthesis is oxygen. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and water, and, using sunlight, convert it into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. The oxygen is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct.
