Where does oxygen come from during photosynthesis?
1. Oxidation of water
2. Oxidation of glucose
3. Reduction of glucose
4. From CO2
The correct equation, representing the overall process of photosynthesis is –
1. 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2
2. 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
3. 6CO2 + 12H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
4. 6CO2 + 12H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + H2O
Which of the following statement is incorrect?
1. Oxygen is released from water.
2. Photosynthesis is a single step reaction.
3. Action spectrum of photosynthesis resembles roughly the absorption spectra of chlorophyll a and b.
