Question

Select the true statement about light reaction
0 Related to synthesis of reducing power
0 There is conversion of CO2 to carbohydrates
O Deals with oxidative phosphorylation
O Directly associated with synthesis of sugars​

Answer 1

During light reaction, there is the conversion of CO2 to carbohydrates.

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

• The light reaction is also known as a photosynthetic reaction.
• In this reaction, sunlight is used to form carbohydrates.
• During photosynthesis, the energy coming from the sun is trapped by the plants.
• Plants use this energy during light reactions along with water and carbon dioxide to form carbohydrates.
• The equation is given below.
• CO2 + H2O -----> C6H12O6 + O2
• Molecular oxygen is also formed as a result of this reaction.
