β Some organisms `color{violet}"do not release"` `O_2` during photosynthesis.
β When `H_2S`, instead is the `color{violet}"hydrogen donor"` for `color{violet}"purple and green sulphur"` bacteria, the βoxidationβ product is `color{violet}"sulphur or sulphate"` depending on the organism and not `O_2`.
β Hence, he `color{violet}"inferred"` that the `O_2` evolved by the `color{violet}"green plant"` comes from `H_2O,` `color{violet}"not from carbon dioxide"`.
β This was later proved by using `color{violet}"radioisotopic techniques"`.
β The `color{Brown}"correct equation"`, that would represent the `color{violet}"overall process of photosynthesis"` is therefore:
where `C_6H_(12)O_6` represents `color{violet}"glucose"`.
β The `O_2` released is from `color{violet}"water"`; this was proved using `color{violet}"radio isotope techniques"`.
β Note that this is `color{violet}"not a single reaction"` but description of a `color{violet}"multistep process"` called `color{Brown}"photosynthesis"`.
