photolysis

• what is meant by photolysis

  this is the splitting of water using light energy
• where does photolysis take place


  in the thylakoid cavity(space)
• during photolysis what does water split into


  oxygen , hydrogen ions and electrons
• what happens to the electrons produced from photolysis

  they replace the electrons lost from ps11
• why are the electrons produced from photolysis used to replace those lost in ps11


  to make the chlorophyll molecule stable
• what happens to the oxygen produced from photolysis

  it diffuses out as a waste product
• what are the protons produced from photolysis used for
