The reaction is known as photolysis, which means splitting by |
light (photo means light, lysis means breaking). This was |
discovered by Robert Hill. Hence it is also called Hill’s reaction. |

into the atmosphere. H+ ions undergo series of changes in dark reaction. |

2. Light independent reaction (Biosynthetic phase) |
This reaction does not require the presence of light and extension of |

in the dark. |
This is also called dark reaction. But the term dark reaction or light |
independent reaction does not mean that they occur when it is dark at night. |
It only means that these reactions are not depend on light. In the dark phase |
the hydrogen of the NADPH is used to combine it with CO2 by utilizing |
ATP energy and to produce glucose (C6H12O6). This synthesis occurs in a |

accepts CO2 in this process. Finally the glucose is converted to starch. |

Heterotrophic Nutrition |
In the living world all organisms are capable of surviving under different |
conditions and acquring their food in different ways. We have studied about |

organisms that can capture light to produce their food. These are |
pseudopodia |
autotrophic in nature. While those that can not are heterotrophic. |
How do organisms obtain their nutrition |
Depending on the type and availability of food organisms can assort |
food particle to a range of strategies of food intake and use. Some organisms break |

down the food materials outside the body and then absorb it. For example, |
bread moulds, yeast, mushrooms etc. which are called saprophytes. Some |
other organisms derive nutrition from plants or animals without killing |
food vacuole them. This type of parasitic nutritive strategy is used by a wide variety of |
