  • Photosynthesis: What is the Primary Product & Byproduct?
    The primary product of photosynthesis is glucose (C6H12O6).

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Photosynthesis is the process where plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create their own food.

    * Glucose is a type of sugar that provides energy for the plant to grow and function.

    While glucose is the primary product, oxygen (O2) is also produced as a byproduct of photosynthesis. This oxygen is released into the atmosphere and is essential for many living organisms, including humans.
