Answer:

Glucose and oxygen

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which the cells of green plants synthesize their own food in the presence of sunlight. Although photosynthesis consists of various steps, it generally combines carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) to produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen gas (O2). The equation is as follows:

6CO2 (g) + 6H20 (l) → C6H12O6 (aq) + 6O2(g)

In a plant that possess chlorosis (a condition characterized by yellowing of leaves due to lack of chlorophyll), photosynthesis will not occur. This ultimately means that the photosynthetic products such as GLUCOSE AND OXYGEN WILL NOT BE MADE.
