Which of the following statements is not true of the light stage of photosynthesis?
- Chlorophyll is energized by sunlight
- Water molecules split into hydrogen and hydroxyl ions
-
Carbon (IV) oxide is reduced by hydrogen atoms in NADPH2
- Water is formed
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
Dark Reaction is the second step in the mechanism of photosynthesis.
- The chemical processes of photosynthesis occurring independently of light are called dark reactions. It takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast.
- Dark reactions of photosynthesis are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. So dark reaction is an enzymatic phase of photosynthesis.
