Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that oxygenic photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, producing glucose and oxygen as primary products.
Recall the general photosynthesis equation: \$6\,CO_2 + 6\,H_2O + light \ energy \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6\,O_2$.
Identify that \(C_6H_{12}O_6\) (glucose) is the carbohydrate produced, which serves as an energy source for the plant.
Recognize that \(O_2\) (oxygen) is released as a byproduct from the splitting of water molecules during the light-dependent reactions.
Conclude that the two main products formed in oxygenic photosynthesis are glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) and oxygen (\(O_2\)).
