Photolysis occurs in the grana of a chloroplast and is defined as the splitting of H2O molecules into hydrogen and oxygen in the presence of light.
End result of the products of photolysis:
(1) The hydrogen ions (H) are picked up by a compound NADP (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) to form NADPH.
NADP+ e- + H+ enzyme → NADPH
(2) The oxygen (0) component is given out as molecular oxygen (O₂).
20 → 0₂
(3) The electrons (e) are used in converting ADP (adenosine diphosphate) into energy-rich compound ATP (adenosine triphosphate) by adding one phosphate group P, (inorganic phosphate).
ADP + P, (inorganic phosphate)→ ATP
