Solution

The correct option is C In the chloroplast
A chloroplast is essentially the centre of photosynthesis in eukaryotes. The light reaction of photosynthesis takes place in the thylakoid membrane whereas the dark reaction takes place in the stroma, both being constituents of the chloroplast.
So, the correct answer is option 'In the chloroplast'.

Q. The given table depicts the observations of three different cell types under a microscope.

Cell type	Nucleus	Cell wall	Chloroplasts
A	No	Yes	No
B	Yes	Yes	No
C	Yes	Yes	Yes

The three cell types were grown in separate cultures with plenty of oxygen and nutrients available. Figure 1 shows their rates of growth. At time 1, oxygen was no longer available to the cells.

Given below are three equations.
(I)

C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + {6 O}_{2} \to {6 C O}_{2} + {6 H}_{2} O + A T P

(II)

H_{2} O + l i g h t \to O_{2} + A T P + N A D P H

(III) 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O + ATP + NADPH → C₆H₁₂O

Cell type C would show equation

Question 27
Which of the following equations is the summary of photosynthesis?

(a) $6 CO_2 + 12 H_2 O \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2 + 6H_2O$
(b) $6CO_2+H_2O+Sunlight \rightarrow C_6 H_{12}O_6+O_2+6H_2O$
(c) $6CO_2+12H_2O+Chlorophyll+Sunlight \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 + 6H_2O$
(d) $6CO_2 + 12H_2O + Chlorophyll+Sunlight \rightarrow C_6 H_{12}O_6 + 6CO_2+6H_2O$

CO₂ + H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ + H₂O

Is the given equation correct? If not, correct it.

6Co₂+ 6H₂O sunlight/chlorophyll C₆ H₁₂ O6 + 6O₂

Please explain this equation?

Balance the given equation:

CO2+H2O---->C6H12O6+O2+H2O

ANS .(1) 6CO2+7H2O----->C6H12O6+6O2+H2O is incorrect

Where as (2) 6CO2+12H2O------>C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O is correct.

Why first answer is incorrect and second answer is correct
