Q. Which is NOT a product of photosynthesis (light-dependent and light-independent reactions combined)?
β
Correct Answer: (C)
Carbon dioxide
Explanation: Photosynthesis consumes carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen (net). CO2 is a reactant, not a product. While water is used in light reactions, some processes release water in other contexts but overall CO2 is not produced.
