Landfills refer to the locations destined for dumping garbage, rubbish, or other kinds of solid wastes. They are the most general means of disposing of solid waste that is either left to pile in heaps or are buried. One of the most drastic effects of landfills is air pollution and its negative influences on the atmosphere.  

There are more than ten toxic gases discharged from the landfills, of which methane is the most harmful gas. The methane gas is generated during the procedure of organic matter decay, it has the tendency to trap solar radiation twenty times more efficiently in comparison to carbon dioxide.  

The consequence is enhanced global and urban temperatures. Apart from methane gas, other agricultural and household chemicals, like ammonia and bleach can produce toxic gases, which can majorly influence the quality of air within the locality of the landfill.  

Particulate matter, dust, and other non-chemical contaminate can also be expelled into the atmosphere, thus, further donating to air quality complications.

The light reaction of photosynthesis does not include
NISA [10]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a complex process which converts light energy into chemical energy which is used to form the glucose molecule.  Photosynthesis occurs in two stages: light-dependent and light-independent reaction.

The light-dependent reaction is the reaction which takes place in the sunlight and converts light energy to chemical energy in ATP and NADPH molecules.

The light-dependent begins when photosystem absorbs light energy which causes the excitation of the electrons provided by chlorophyll molecule. The excited electrons get accepted by electron acceptor molecule and a chain of electron flow begins called electron transport chain.

This creates a scarcity of electron in photosystem which causes hydrolysis of the water molecule as a result oxygen gas is released. The electron flow leads to the synthesis of ATP molecules through chemiosmosis.  

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
