Question
Hill reaction occurs in:
high altitude plants
total darkness
absence of water
presence of ferricyanide
Solution
D.
presence of ferricyanide
Hill reaction is the light phase or photochemical phase of photosynthesis which consists of light driven splitting of water or photolysis, evolution of oxygen and synthesis of assimilatry power (ATP and NADPH). An enzyme complex, Mn, Cl and ferricyanides are required for this reaction. An overview of hill reaction is as
