Photosynthesis is a redox process where oxidation and reduction both occurs. During photosynthesis, water gets oxidized to oxygen (O2). In photosynthesis, CO2 gets reduced to carbohydrates.NADP+ getting reduced to NADPH is the reduction half and water giving rise to oxygen is the oxidation half.

2. Photosynthesis must be triggered by a catalyst known as what in order for the process to start?
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase (RuBisCO) is an enzyme involved in the first major step of carbon fixation in photosynthesis, a process by which atmospheric carbon dioxide is converted by plants to...

Why are uncompetitive and mixed inhibitors generally considered to be more effective in vivo than competitive inhibitors?
In competitive inhibition, the substrate and inhibitor cannot bind to the enzyme at the same time.the substrate and inhibitor compete for access to the enzyme's active site. In vivo, substrate...

assuming that the accumulation of starch in a leaf is evidence of photosynthesis,make a general statement about photosynthesis and carbon dioxide.
Plants depends on the production of sugars (starch) from sunlight and carbon dioxide that calls photosynthesis. Plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere during photosynthesis to form sugars.

Why redox titration with sodium oxalate and potassium nitrate testing should not exceed 70 or 80 ° C heat and sulfuric acid to a solution of sodium oxalate?
Potassium nitrate is not used as oxidizer in the redox titrations. Maybe you meant potassium permanganate. The temperature is controlled to avoid the thermal decomposition of an oxalate.

In a redox reaction, explain why the oxidizing agent undergoes reduction.
In terms of electron transfers, oxidizing agent gains electrons, and oxidation is the process of losing electrons. In its turn, reduction means gaining electrons. Therefore, oxidizing agent gains electrons from...
