what are the by products of photosynthesis
The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen. Photosynthesis takes in carbon dioxide and water and combine them in the presence of energy from the sun to make food for the organism.
The raw materials of photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide, enter the cells of the leaf, and the products of photosynthesis, sugar and oxygen, leave the leaf.
