Water is broken down. It is called photolysis. Electrons are supplied to photosynthesis
Light dependant reaction involves the use of photons during photo-phosphorylation in which a water molecule is broken down into its elements, providing the hydrogen atoms necessary to reduce NADP into NADPH.
The splitting of water into H+ and OH- is called hydrolysis and occurs in a huge array of biochemical reactions. Water is broken down just about as often as it is resembled, call these processes a 'lubricant for chemical reactions'.

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.
The energy sources needed for the light reactions in photosynthesis are light (photons), which are absorbed by chlorophyll. The energy sources needed for the carbon reactions (Calvin cycle) are ATP and NADPH, which are produced during the light reactions.
The light reactions provide energy carriers for the dark reactions.
During the dark reactions (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis, water is not split. Instead, the dark reactions use the products of the light reactions (ATP and NADPH) to convert carbon dioxide into glucose through a series of enzyme-controlled reactions. The splitting of water occurs in the light reactions at Photosystem II to generate oxygen, electrons, and protons.
The chemical reactions of the light-dependent process occur in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts. Key reactions include light absorption by chlorophyll, the splitting of water molecules to release oxygen, and the generation of ATP and NADPH molecules. These reactions are essential for the production of energy-rich molecules that drive the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.
The light reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast. The primary goal of the light reactions is to convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. Water is split during the light reactions to provide electrons for the photosystems. The light reactions produce oxygen as a byproduct.
