Oxygen

Answer 1

Photosynthesis is the chemical reaction by which plants produce complex food molecules (sugars). This process requires an energy input from sunlight to occur. In this reaction, the reactants carbon dioxide and water combine to form products such as carbon-based organic molecules and oxygen. Photosynthesis is an important part of the carbon cycle because it removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and through chemical reactions, rearranges the atoms into other forms of useable carbon molecules for the plant and releases oxygen back into the atmosphere.
