Simple sugars like glucose is produced during photosynthesis. Oxygen is produced as a byproduct.
The glucose is used by plants to generate energy for its metabolic activities. A very small portion of the oxygen produced is used by the plants for cellular respiration while the rest is released into the atmosphere. This oxygen released into the atmosphere is used by other organisms.
