     Photosynthetic enhancement with flashing light was first observed by

    A)  Benson and Calvin

    B)  Hill and Calvin

    C)  Hatch and Slack                    

    D)  Emerson and Arnold             

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Emerson and Arnold (1932) established light  and dark phases in photosynthesis with the help of flashing light and Ermerson concluded two distinct photochemical process in light reaction of photosynthesis. Calvin traced the path of carbon fixation by using \[({{\,}^{14}}C{{O}_{2}})\] and gave\[{{\text{C}}_{\text{3}}}\]cycle also known as Calvin cycle. Hill (1937) performed that \[{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\] evolved in light reaction of photosynthesis in absence of \[\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{2}}.\]Hatch and Slack (1965)  discovered supplementory mechanism of \[\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]fixation  called \[{{\text{C}}_{4}}\] pathway in certain tropical plants.
