What happens to the oxygen released during
photosynthesis?
O A. The oxygen atoms react with hydrogen
atoms and produce water molecules.
O B. The oxygen atoms are released from
the atmosphere into space.
O C. The oxygen atoms diffuse through the
atmosphere and are inhaled by animals.
O D. The oxygen atoms diffuse through the
atmosphere and are reused as a
reactant for photosynthesis.

Answer 1

Answer: Option C) The oxygen atoms diffuse through the atmosphere and are inhaled by animals.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for photosynthesis is shown below:

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

The oxygen gas released during

photosynthesis is inhaled by animals. So, plants gives off oxygen as by-product, while humans gives off carbon dioxide as by-product.

Thus, oxygen and carbon dioxide is balanced and recycled in nature
