CBSEENBI11025078

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
