Water participates directly in the light reactions of photosynthesis by donating electrons to photosystem II. Photosystem I and photosystem II both contain chlorophyll as molecules.
Water particles directly affect light reactions by donating electrons to photosynthesis II. This is where water molecules are broken down to release oxygen.

catalyzing a reaction
The biochemical reactions involving photolysis of water comes under light reaction. It is infect a chain of reactions commonly known as light phase.
They are opposite reactions, but both are related in that the end products of one are used in the reactions of the other. Photosynthesis : sunlight + carbon dioxide + water --> oxygen + glucose Cellular respiration : glucose + oxygen --> ATP + Carbon dioxide + water
Oxygen
That would be the water. Light form the sun is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Oxygen, as we know, is released as a waste product that we use. Hydrogen is then carried to another series of reactions to create energy for the plant.
Photosynthesis is the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into a sugar called glucose using sunlight energy. Water is key.

The reactants of light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis are H20 (water), ADP, and NADP+.
Oxygen + Water ---------> Carbon Dioxide + Glucose

Donating electrons to photosystem 2
There are three carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.

Water is the molecule that is split during the light reaction of photosynthesis when releasing oxygen.
