Hill reaction occurs in
A. High altitude plants
B. Total darkness
C. Absence of water
D. Presence of ferricyanide
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Hill reaction occurs in Presence of ferricyanide.The Hill reaction is the light-driven transfer of electrons from water to Hill reagents in a direction against the chemical potential gradient as part of photosynthesis.
Robin Hill discovered the reaction in 1937. He demonstrated that the process by which plants produce oxygen is separate from the process that converts carbon dioxide to sugars.
The association of phosphorylation and the reduction of an electron acceptor such as ferricyanide increase similarly with the addition of phosphate, magnesium (Mg) and ADP.
