The purple color of potassium permanganate gradually spreads throughout the water in the jar by the process of diffusion.

  • Diffusion is the process of movement of a substance from the region of higher concentration to the regions of lower concentration. Diffusion occurs in liquids as well as gases.
  • Potassium permanganate is a purple color compound, when it is added in a jar of water it spreads throughout the water by the virtue of diffusion.
  • The concentration of potassium permanganate is higher at one point and the other regions in the jar have its nil or low concentrations initially, this leads to the set up of a concentration gradient.
  • As time passes diffusion occurs and the particles of potassium permanganate keep on migrating to the regions of low concentration until the concentration is uniform throughout the jar. Ultimately, it spread throughout the jar making the water purple.

The products of the light reactions of photosynthesis are ______.
Pachacha [2.7K]

The correct answer is - B) ATP and NADPH.

The products of the light reactions of the process of photosynthesis are the ATP and NADPH. The small amount of ATP produced in this process and the energy carrier NADHP are crucial for the functioning of the organisms that use the process of photosynthesis, and the reason for that is that these two are used by the organisms to create glucose, or rather sugars, in the process called the Calvin Cycle. The glucose is what these organisms use as their food, a food they they manage to make themselves, thus making them producers. If the light is missing, then the process of photosynthesis can not be performed because the formation of ATP's will be stopped, as well as the formation of NADHP, so the organisms will not be able to produce their own food.
