Answer:
Photolysis of water is the splitting of the water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen in the presence of sunlight. During the first stage of photosynthesis, when the light energy is absorbed ps-II i.e., p680. Once the electron drops to the ground state, the water molecules get splits due to the presence of the photon.

Answer:
In photolysis, the chlorophyll gets activated by absorbing the photons (smallest unit of light). By using this energy, the leaf breaks down the H2O molecule (water) into H+ and OH- ions.. There fore, water molecule is broken down into H+ and OH- ions in photolysis.
