Question

Explain the
mechanism of photolysis of water​

Answer 1

Answer:

Catalysts in the chloroplasts of photosynthesizing plants help split water by binding water molecules and separating protons and electrons. ... In a process called photolysis ('light' and 'split'), light energy and catalysts interact to drive the splitting of water molecules into protons (H+), electrons, and oxygen gas

Answer 2

Answer:

During Photosynthesis, in the presence of sunlight (photons) water molecules splits (or "lysed" into Hydrogen ion (H+) and oxygen (1/2 O2) and electrons (2e-) . H+ is used to reduce NADP and oxygen is released as the waste Product.

Explanation:

During the first phase of photosynthesis, psII absorbed the photons(light energy) resulting in exciting the chlorophyll which when comes back to the ground state release sufficient energy to dissociate (or lyse) the water molecule
