The isotope of carbon used extensively for studies in photosynthesis is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B C14
- Carbon-14 is a radioisotope of carbon and has been used extensively in photosynthesis research.
- By following this isotope various intermediates of Calvin cycle were worked out and 3 phosphoglyceric acid was established as the first stable product of dark reaction.
- Calvin and coworker used the technique of co-chromatography on cell extracts of alga Chlorella and Scenedesmus to ascertain the C3 cycle intermediates after exposing these algae to carbon 14 isotope.
Hence, option B is correct.
