Question

Significance of photolysis of water?

Answer 1

The chemical process by which plants and some

organisms, using sunlight, produce nutrients from water and carbon dioxide is known

as Photosynthesis.

 

In photosynthesis, light energy is absorbed by

Chlorophyll (the green pigmentation found in leaves and some stems) in the

plant cells, to produce ATP and to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This sub-process

is called Photolysis.

Answer 2

It is also called as hills reaction
