The process in photosynthesis that uses energy from the sun is splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. This occurs during the light-dependent reactions, where sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and used to split water molecules, releasing oxygen and producing energy-rich molecules (ATP and NADPH) for the next stage of photosynthesis.
