To explain: Whether the reaction “
Introduction: Photosynthesis is a process by which carbon dioxide and water are used to produce glucose molecules using energy from sunlight. During this process, oxygen gas is evolved. The process of conversion of light energy to the chemical energy occurs in two phases of reactions, that is, the light-dependent reaction and carbon fixation reaction (dark reactions).
Explanation of Solution
The above given Equation characterizes the
The reaction “
To explain: The reason for heat production in the given reaction.
Introduction: In photosynthesis, organisms utilize light energy to produce high energy sugar molecules that are taken as food. In some reactions, due to the rapid vibration of
Explanation of Solution
The given Equation describes the “outcome” of photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, energy conversion takes place in various steps. Throughout photosynthesis, light energy is converted into chemical-bond energy, which undergoes rapid molecular motion to produce heat energy. As law of
