Summary Introduction

To determine:

The process of photosynthesis produces oxygen.

Introduction:

The process by which plants and some kind of bacteria make their food (sugar molecule formation) with the help of carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight called photosynthesis.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

There are two stages in the photosynthesis, light reaction, and dark reaction. The main work of these stages is to generate energy for making food to the plants. During the light reaction, one electron from a water molecule is stripped out. The atoms of oxygen from the two water molecules join together and form diatomic oxygen. This diatomic oxygen is released and center of chlorophyll binds new water molecules to produce more diatomic oxygen. For this particular production of the single oxygen molecule, four electrons are used.

Conclusion

During the process of photosynthesis the free oxygen atom joins with the other free oxygen atom to produce oxygen gas.
