Question

Photolysis of water takes place during dark reaction in photosynthesis

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Photolysis:

Spitting of water molecules by light

Photosynthesis:

It is a process in which plants make their own food with the help of sunlight.

Dark reaction:

It is a reaction in which the formation of sugar molecules takes place with the help of water and carbon dioxide molecules and photolysis does not take place because it is a light-independent reaction.

Light reaction:

1. It is a light-dependent reaction and occurs in the grana in the thylakoid membrane in which the formation of ATP and NADPH takes place along with other substances.
2. In light reactions, light energy is utilized to break up the water molecules called photolysis of water and hence photolysis of water takes place during light reaction in photosynthesis

The given statement is false.
