Responses

Water splits into hydrogen and oxygen.
Water splits into hydrogen and oxygen.

Oxygen is released.
Oxygen is released.

Chlorophyll absorbs energy.

Answer 1

The step in photosynthesis that does not need light is the Calvin cycle, also known as the light-independent reactions. However, from the given options, none directly correspond to this process.

To clarify the provided responses:
- "Water splits into hydrogen and oxygen" occurs in the light-dependent reactions.
- "Oxygen is released" also occurs in the light-dependent reactions.
- "Chlorophyll absorbs energy" involves light and occurs in the light-dependent reactions.

Since none of these options are accurate in describing the light-independent processes, it seems there may have been a misunderstanding with the provided answers. If you meant to ask for a process specifically related to the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle), that would be the correct context.
