Which of the following is a direct product of photosynthesis?
A
Water (H2O)
B
Nitrogen gas (N2)
C
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
D
Oxygen (O2)
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy, producing glucose and oxygen as products.
Recall the general photosynthesis equation: \[6\,CO_2 + 6\,H_2O + light \ energy \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6\,O_2\], where carbon dioxide and water are reactants, and glucose and oxygen are products.
Identify that water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are reactants consumed during photosynthesis, not products.
Recognize that nitrogen gas (N2) is not involved in the photosynthesis process and is neither a reactant nor a product.
Conclude that oxygen (O2) is released as a direct product of photosynthesis, making it the correct answer.
