The splitting of water at photosystem II is known as _ and results in the production of _

Question

A. Photosynthesis: carbon dioxide G3P and electrons that are given to photosystem II
B. the Calvin cycle carbon dioxide G3P and electrons that are given to photosystem II
C. Photolysis: oxygen hydrogen lens (protons) and electrons that are given to photosystem II
D. Chemiosmosis: oxygen hydrogen lens (protons) glucose and electrons that are given to photosystem II

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Photolysis: oxygen hydrogen ions (protons) and electrons that are given to photosystem II.

Photolysis refers to the process of breaking down water molecules using light energy during photosynthesis, particularly at Photosystem II. This process produces oxygen, protons (hydrogen ions), and electrons.
