Consider the diagram below which represents photosynthetic reactions. Choose the option that correctly matches the names to the numbers (i), (ii), (iii). Also the option must match for the involvement of chlorophyll, i.e., a-Light reaction or b-Calvin-Benson Cycle.
Consider the diagram below which represents photosynthetic reactions. Choose the option that correctly matches the names to the numbers (i), (ii), (iii). Also the option must match for the involvement of chlorophyll, i.e., a-Light reaction or b-Calvin-Benson Cycle.
The correct option is A (i) Water, (ii) Oxygen, (iii) Carbon dioxide; chlorophyll is used in a-Light reactions
The first part of the diagram depicts the light reaction in which water is used along with NADP and ADPs to produce oxygen, NADPH and ATP. NADP and ATP are both compounds that store energy. Therefore, (i) is water and (ii) is oxygen. Chlorophyll is involved in the light reaction.
The latter part of the diagram depicts the Calvin-Benson cycle which is a part of the dark reaction. Here carbon dioxide gets synthesized into more complex molecule, i.e., glucose. Therefore (iii) is carbon dioxide.
