Question

What happens to the oxygen released during photosynthesis?

A. The oxygen atoms react with hydrogen atoms and produce water
molecules
B. The oxygen atoms are released from the atmosphere into space.
C. The oxygen atoms diffuse through the atmosphere and are
inhaled by animals.
D. The oxygen atoms diffuse through the atmosphere and are reused
as a reactant for photosynthesis.

Answer 1

I believe your answer is C, the oxygen atoms diffuse through the atmosphere and are

inhaled by animals.

Explanation:

Plants take in water that later splits to create hydrogen and oxygen. Since plants don't need oxygen, it gets released into the atmosphere for us and other animals to breathe.
