(a)
To determine:
The compound X which was first compound to become labeled with
Introduction:
Photosynthesis is a process in which the solar energy that is sunlight is used for the formation of chemical energy that is glucose from the carbon dioxide and water. During the photosynthesis, oxygen gas is evolved. This process involves two types of reactions: light reaction and dark reaction.
(b)
To determine:
The condition in which X became labeled quickly, but lost its radioactivity with time, whereas Y became more radioactive with time is to be determined.
