Question

Hill is known for working out reactions taking place during the _____ of photosynthesis

Answer 1

Hill is known for working out reactions takin gplace during the light reaction of photosynthesis. The process was described by Robin Hill, a biochemist, who discovered that the process of creating oxygen was not the same one that turns carbon dioxide into sugars in plants during photosynthesis. His theories became the foundation for the understanding of photosynthesis.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is Light dependent phase of photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis ( synthesis of food in presence of sunlight) is primarily divided into Light dependent and light independent phase.

Light dependent phase occurs in the thylakoid membrane within chloroplast and the chemical reactions taking place in this phase are also called Hill reaction. Energy from sunlight is absorbed and converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH and Oxygen is produced due to splitting of water in this phase.
