A plant is provided with ideal conditions for photosynthesis and supplied with isotope `.^(14)CO_(2)`. When the products of the process are analysed carefully, what would be nature of productsA. Giucose and oxygen are labelledB. Oxygen is labelled, but glucose is normalC. Glucose and oxygen are normalD. Glucose is labelled, but oxygen is normal

Answer» Correct Answer - D
In the process of photosynthesis
`6CO_(2)+12H_(2)Ounderset(Chl)overset(hv)tounderset(`(Glucose)`)(C_(6)H_(12)O_(6))+6H_(2)O+6O_(2)uarr`
Plants manufacture glucose from `H_(2)O` and `CO_(2)` and oxygen gas is released, So, due to isotopic catbon of `CO_(2)` only glucose will be labeiled, but oxygen will be normal.
