    What is the quantum yield of photosynthesis

    A) 8%

    B) 12%

    C) 9%

    D) 33%

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Quantum requirement in photosynthesis = 8, i.e., 8 quanta of light are required to evolve one mol. of\[{{O}_{2}}\]. Hence quantum yield = 1/8 = 0.125 (i.e., a fraction of 1) as 12%.
