Question

The correct sequence of photosynthesis in green plants is: (top to bottom)

• A. Chlorophyll absorbs light
• B. Splitting of water
• C. Reduction of $C{O}_2$
• D. Carbohydrate formation

Answer 1

In the process of photosynthesis, first light is trapped by chlorophyll and there is splitting of water into oxygen and hydrogen [light-dependent reactions]. This is followed by reduction of carbon dioxide into carbohydrates by various plant enzymes [light independent reactions].
