Donating electrons to photosystem 2
Water molecule is split during the light reactions of photosynthesis to release oxygen.
The initial reactions in photosynthesis are known as the light-dependent reactions. These reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast and involve the absorption of light energy to drive the conversion of water into oxygen, ATP, and NADPH.
In the light reactions of photosynthesis, oxygen is released as a byproduct. Oxygen is not directly involved in the dark reactions (Calvin cycle), which utilize ATP and NADPH produced during the light reactions to convert carbon dioxide into sugars.
Water
The light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis generate oxygen from water. No ATP is produced during this step.

The biochemical reactions involving photolysis of water comes under light reaction. It is infect a chain of reactions commonly known as light phase.
Photosynthesis generates ATP during the light-dependent reactions (photophosphorylation) and NADPH during the light-dependent reactions (photolysis of water and reduction of NADP+ to NADPH).

Yes, photosynthesis requires water to occur. Water is a crucial component in the process of photosynthesis, as it is used in the light-dependent reactions to help convert light energy into chemical energy.
The reactants in the light independent reactions of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide (CO2) and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions. These reactions occur in the stroma of the chloroplast and lead to the formation of glucose through the Calvin cycle.
