Answer:

Dichloroindophenol chemical act as electron acceptor in photosynthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

DCPIP (2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol) in general is a dye of blue color which reduces to become colorless and hence act as an electron acceptor in the light reactions of photosynthesis

It is used to measure the rate of photosynthesis, because its reduction leads to identification of reducing agent (Diphenylcarbazide) in plant that is produced at the time of photosynthesis with in the chloroplasts.
