Quantum yield of Photosynthesis

A. 0.02 - 0.03

B. 0.08 - 0.12

C. 1.12 - 3.23

D. 0.36 - 9.65

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The quantum yield of any radiation-induced process like photosynthesis is the number of times a specific event occurs per photon absorbed by the system. It is a definitive measure of the energetic efficiency of photo autotrophy. It is calculated from light intensity and the rate of photosynthesis. It is approximately 0.08 - 0.12.
