Oxygen (O2) is produced as a byproduct of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. During this process, water molecules are split, releasing oxygen atoms that combine to form O2 gas. This oxygen is then released into the atmosphere as a waste product of photosynthesis.

In photosynthesis, molecules involved are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sunlight. In respiration, the molecules involved are glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).
For every molecule of CO2 fixed during photosynthesis, one molecule of O2 is released. This process occurs during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis when water is split to release oxygen as a byproduct.
There is only one gas. It is the CO2 gas.
The reactants involved in photosynthesis are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
The carrier molecule involved in photosynthesis is (A) chlorophyll.
