Question

Are photolysis of water and hill reaction same ?..... if yes then who discovered it ?..... if not then what's the difference between them and who discovered each of them ?

Answer 1

The Hill reaction of photosynthesis was discovered by Robin Hill (1937). He found that isolated chloroplasts from plants can release oxygen when they are illuminated by sunlight in the presence of a suitable electron acceptor such as ferricyanide.

The ferrocyanide is reduced (just as NADP is when the chloroplast is in vivo) while water (H2O) is oxidized into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen cations during the reaction . The Hill reaction confirms that oxygen (O2) is produced by a reaction that is separate from carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation.

Yes the photosynthesis of water and Hill reaction are same.The Hill reaction of photosynthesis was discovered by Robin Hill (1937). He found that isolated chloroplasts from plants can release oxygen when they are illuminated by sunlight in the presence of a suitable electron acceptor such as ferricyanide.
