* Glucose: This is the primary energy source for plants and other living organisms. It's like food for the plant.
* Oxygen: This is a byproduct of photosynthesis. It is released into the atmosphere, which is essential for the survival of many living things.
The chemical equation for photosynthesis is:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
* CO₂ (carbon dioxide) is taken in from the atmosphere.
* H₂O (water) is absorbed from the soil.
* Light energy is absorbed from the sun.
* C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose) is the sugar produced.
* O₂ (oxygen) is released as a byproduct.
