Question

Which of the following is not required for Hill reaction?
a) Sun light
b) chlorophyll
c) Water
d) carbon dioxide

Answer 1

Dear Aditya,


◆ Answer - (d) CO2
*CO2* is not required for Hill reaction.

● Extra information about Hill reaction -
- Robert Hill demonstrated that leaf extracts rich in chloroplasts when radiated evolve oxygen & acquire the capacity to reduce hydrogen acceptors.
- Hill reaction is written as -
2H2O + 2A --> 2AH2 + O2
A is mostly NADP.
- The requires sunlight but can take place in absence of CO2.



Hope this helped you.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer would be D, Carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is not required for Hill Reaction.

Hill Reaction was a biochemical process, which was discovered by Robin Hill in 1937 in University of Cambridge. Hill Reaction is a light driven process in which electrons from water are transferred to Hill reagents against a chemical gradient. Hill reaction is written as  “ 2H2O + 2A --> 2AH2 + O2 ”
