a.
b. Glucose:
→ The primary product of photosynthesis is glucose, which can be transported via the phloem to other parts of the plant, such as roots, fruits, or growing tissues.
→ Alternatively, it can be converted to starch for short-term storage in leaves or transported to roots or other storage organs for long-term storage.
Oxygen:
→ Oxygen is produced as a byproduct and released into the atmosphere through the stomata, although some is used by the plant for its own cellular respiration processes.
