Answer:

Photosynthesis, process by which green plants and certain other organisms use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide and water into the simple sugar glucose. Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis and, correspondingly, carbon dioxide the byproduct of respiration

Answer:

Oxygen is a product of photosynthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Oxygen is what the plant produced when going through photosynthesis. This is also shown by the equation for this process which is 6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon dioxide + water + energy from light produces glucose and oxygen.
