The three end products of photosynthesis are:
- Glucose (C6H12O6) — It is used in following four ways:
- immediately consumed by the plant cells
- stored in the form of insoluble starch
- converted into sucrose
- used in synthesizing fats, proteins,etc.
- Water — can be reutilized in continuance of photosynthesis.
- Oxygen — It is used in respiration in the leaf cells. Extra oxygen is released and diffused out in atmosphere.
