Dear student 1).Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts. 2).cellularr respiration occurs in the mitochondria. 2)) Water is the raw material that is responsible for the release of molecular oxygen during photosynthesis.During the photosynthesis process plants absorb the water and carbon dioxide and start releasing oxygen. The source of release of O2 in the process of photosynthesis is water. Water breaks down into hydrogen and oxygen electrons i.e. H2O split into H2 and O2 . Regards
