Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of oxygenic photosynthesis, which occurs in plants and involves converting light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
Recall the general balanced chemical equation for oxygenic photosynthesis: \$6\,CO_2 + 6\,H_2O + light \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6\,O_2$.
Identify the products on the right side of the equation: glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) and oxygen (\(O_2\)).
Recognize that glucose is a carbohydrate and a direct product synthesized by plants during photosynthesis, while oxygen is released as a byproduct.
Compare the given options and conclude that glucose (a carbohydrate) is the direct product of oxygenic photosynthesis in plants.
