उत्तर
The reaction of photosynthesis can be grouped into two: Light and Dark reactions.
The reaction involving pigments, solar energy, and water that produce ATP and NADPH2 is called a light reaction.
The photosynthetic reactions in which CO2 is reduced to carbohydrates making use of ATP and NADPH2 generated by light reaction are called dark reaction.
The overall reaction of photosynthesis can be written as follows:
\[\ce{CO2 + H2O ->[Solar energy][chlorophyll]C6H12O6 + H2 + O2↑}\]

What is meant by a destarched plant? How can it be destarched?
A healthy croton plant bearing variegated leaves was kept in a dark cupboard to destarch it after which it was placed in sunlight for a few hours. One of the leaves was then plucked and an outline of the leaf marking the green and the non-green regions was drawn. The leaf was then tested for starch.
