a)
Interpretation:
Light reaction an oxidation or reduction should be identified.
Concept introduction:
An oxidant or an oxidizing agent which gains electrons and get reduced during
A reductant or a reducing agent which loses electrons and get oxidized during chemical reaction. It is also recognized as electron donor. Sulfite compounds, formic acid and earth metals are the common example of reducing agents.
b.
Interpretation:
The equation for the other half-reaction, called the dark reaction should be identified.
Concept introduction:
An oxidant or an oxidizing agent which gains electrons and get reduced during chemical reaction. It also recognized as electron acceptor. Nitric acid, potassium Nitrate and Halogens are the types of oxidizing agents.
A reductant or a reducing agent which loses electrons and get oxidized during chemical reaction. It is also recognized as electron donor. Sulfite compounds, formic acid and earth metals are the common example of reducing agents.
The overall reaction of photosynthesis is: -
The above reaction is a net result of the two processes: -
One is the light reaction.
The Other is dark reaction.
