Why? Question of the Day

Plants release oxygen during photosynthesis because they use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2 In this equation, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are the reactants, and glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) are the products. During photosynthesis,…
