•Photosynthesis is a biochemical process in which water is incorporated into organic molecules. In this reaction, the hydrogen atoms from water are incorporated into the produced glucose and the oxygen atoms from water make up the molecular oxygen liberated: carbon dioxide + water + light = glucose + molecular oxygen.

•Aerobic respiration is an example of a biochemical reaction in which water is produced: glucose + molecular oxygen = carbon dioxide + water.
