Q
Q: What is photolysis in the context of photosynthesis?
Solution:
Photolysis refers to the splitting of water molecules during the light-dependent reactions.
Steps: 7
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that photosynthesis is the process plants use to make their food using sunlight.
Step 2: Learn that photosynthesis has two main parts: light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions.
Step 3: Focus on the light-dependent reactions, which happen in the presence of sunlight.
Step 4: Know that during these reactions, water (H2O) is used.
Step 5: Photolysis is the term used to describe the splitting of water molecules into smaller parts.
Step 6: When water splits, it produces oxygen (O2), protons (H+), and electrons (e-).
Step 7: The oxygen is released into the air, while the protons and electrons are used in the next steps of photosynthesis.
