Answer 2

The Splitting of water in photosynthesis is called photolysis.

Explanation:

• Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make food and convert light energy into chemical energy.
• It occurs in two phases- light reaction and dark reaction.
• During light reaction the water molecules get split into hydrogen and oxygen in the presence of sunlight.
• Photolysis is made up of two words- 'photo' and 'lysis'. It means splitting of water in the presence of light.
