Photolysis is the splitting of water during photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process which results in the conversion of light energy into chemical energy.
It comes from the splitting of water molecules.
The splitting of water during photosynthesis is called photolysis. It is the decomposition of water molecules by the action of light.
When oxygen is released as a result of photosynthesis, it is a by product of what?reducing NADP+chemiosmosisthe electron transfer system of photosystem Isplitting the water moleculesthe electron transfer system of photosystem IIsplitting the water molecules
splitting of water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen.
Splitting of water molecules during photosynthesis
The supply of electrons in photosynthesis comes from water.
Water molecules
A by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen gas. It is produced from the splitting of water at P680.
The process of splitting water to release hydrogen ion and electrons along with oxygen is called photolysis. Photolysis occurs during non-cyclic phase of photosynthesis. Photos means light and lysis means splitting. Thus it is evident from the name itself that photolysis is a light dependent step of photosynthesis.
