Answer:

All the oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere which is used by animals and plants for respiration, originates as a by-product of photosynthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

During the process of photosynthesis, glucose is majorly obtained as the main product while oxygen remains the bye product. ATP, NADPH, electrons are all produced before oxygen now evolves. The reaction could occur in both light reaction and dark reaction
