- Light
Solution
Photolysis of water: It is a light-mediated oxidation process associated with characterized by the splitting of a water molecules into electrons, hydrogen ions and oxygen. The electrons released during photolysis are accepted by of , which has lost its electron due to excitation. The ions released are used to reduce to that enters the dark reaction of photosynthesis. The reaction is as follows:
