This can be explained by analyzing the two chemical equations

The equation for photosynthesis is:

6CO2+6H20--->C6H12O6+6O2

The equation for aerobic respiration is:

C6H12O6+6O2--->6CO2+6H2O

The oxygen that is produced by the photosynthesis is consumed by the organism that do aerobic respiration.
