Question

define hills reaction

Answer 1

Hi friend,

The Hill reaction is formally defined as the photoreduction of an electron acceptor by the hydrogens of water, with the evolution of oxygen.
Photosynthetic organisms are able to capture light energy and use it to form carbohydrates and free oxygen. The overall equation for the photosynthetic reaction is as follows: 

 

        2,000 Kcal light energy

  

              plants and algae

 

 

6 CO2   +  12 H2O   ------------------------------------->   C6H12O6   +   6 O2   +   6 H2O

                chlorophyll

bacterial - H2, H2S, NH3
