Enzymes

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The suspension of isolated thylakoids contains the machinery for the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis,which produce $ATP$ and $NADPH$. However,the synthesis of hexose (glucose) occurs during the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle),which take place in the stroma of the chloroplast. The stroma contains the necessary enzymes,such as $RuBisCO$,which are required to fix $CO_2$ into carbohydrates. Since isolated thylakoids lack these stroma-localized enzymes,they cannot produce hexose even in the presence of $CO_2$ and $H_2O$.

Suspension of isolated thylakoids in a culture medium containing $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ does not produce hexose due to the absence of which of the following?
