Question

Does photosynthesis produce oxygen?

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. Plants take in carbon dioxide (${\mathrm{CO}}_2$) and water (${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$) from the air and soil respectively during photosynthesis.
2. Within the plant cell, water is oxidised, meaning it loses electrons, but carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons.
3. It converts water into oxygen and carbon dioxide into glucose.

Final answer: The given statement is true.
