H2O(water) cuz it splits into hydrogen and oxygen due to photolysis of water.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce glucosefrom carbon dioxide and water. This glucose can be convertedinto pyruvate which releases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by cellular respiration. Oxygen is also formed.
