Name/list the PRODUCTS of PHOTOSYNTHESIS
The products of photosynthesis are:
1. Glucose: It is a simple sugar molecule that serves as the primary energy source for most organisms.
2. Oxygen: It is a byproduct of photosynthesis and is released into the atmosphere.
3. Water: Photosynthesis uses water molecules (H2O) as a source of hydrogen ions (H+) and electrons.
4. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate): It is an energy-rich molecule that is produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
5. NADPH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate): It is a reduced form of NADP+ and serves as a carrier molecule for high-energy electrons in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
6. Starch: Plants store excess glucose in the form of starch, which can later be broken down to provide energy when needed.
7. Biomass: The organic matter produced by plants through photosynthesis, including leaves, stems, roots, and fruits, can be considered as a product.
