Question

35.
The deficiency of which of these
elements interrupts photolysis of water
during photosynthesis ?
(A) Zn and Cu
(B) Ca and K
(C) N and P
(D) Mn and C1​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mn and Cl

Explanation:

MN and CL are very crucial for photolysis of water. Photolysis of water is very important in the process of photosynthesis as it helps to release oxygen and hydrogen. Complex ions of these elements take part in this process which is broken down under light during the light reaction of photosynthesis.

Answer 2

The deficiency of Mn and CL elements will interrupt the photolysis of water in the photosynthesis process.

• Water photolysis happens during non-cyclical electron flow. The ultimate source of electrons is water during non cyclic electron streaming.
• The water molecule is broken down into a process called photolysis and the byproduct released is oxygen.
• The mineral ions essential in this process are chlorine, manganese, and calcium. There absence will hamper the process.
