Rewrite the equation in its complete form .
(i) Fill in the blanks in the following equations of two chemical reactions:
(a) \[\ce{---+12H2O->[Light energy]C6H12O6 + --- + ----}\]
(b) \[\ce{--- 6O2->[Chlorophyll] 6 --- +6 ---- + Energy}\]
(ii) Name the two processes represented by the above two reactions.
(iii) State any two differences in these processes other than those already indicated in the reactions.

A potted destarched plant was taken in order to prove that light is necessary for photosynthesis.
(i) What is meant by 'destarched plant'? How can it be destarched?
(ii) Using the destarched plant describe step by step how you would proceed to prove that in the absence of light the leaf cannot manufacture starch.

Define Photosynthesis.
How does the light-dependent reaction differ from the light-independent reaction? What are the end product and reactants in each? Where does each reaction occur within the chloroplast?
The reactions of photosynthesis make up a biochemical pathway.
Explain how the biochemical pathway of photosynthesis recycles many of its own reactions and identify the recycled reactants.
