Which cofactor is necessary for photolysis of water?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Mn
Photosynthesis occurs in two stages, light reaction and dark reaction. During the light reaction water is split using energy from light and NADPH2 and ATP are synthesized. The splitting of water is called photolysis. Oxygen is released as a byproduct during of photolysis of water. Photolysis literally means lysis in presence of light. The mineral ions required for the process of photolysis are manganese, calcium, and chloride. The NADPH2 and ATP are used subsequently to reduce carbon dioxide into sugars. So, the correct answer is option B.
