Photosynthesis is used to produce food for plants. plants are called autotrophs because they produce their own food. animals are heterotrophs, meaning they eat their food. what do plants produce in photosynthesis that is used by animals and other heterotrophs? a) oxygen only b) glucose only c) glucose and oxygen d) glucose and carbon dioxide

The correct option is C. Glucose and oxygen

Explanation:

Photosynthesis can be described as a process in which glucose and oxygen are produced from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light energy. The overall reaction for photosynthesis is:

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

This reaction serves as the main driving energy force for plants and animals. The oxygen produced by plants is released in the atmosphere. This oxygen is taken up by animals for respiration. The glucose produced by the plants serves as the food for animals.

this is more of a statement than a question. is there answers to go along with this, or is it opinion based?

i think it's organizational.
