What happens to water during the light reaction in photosynthesis?

Answer 1

The core function of photosynthesis is to convert captured light into energy. During this process, the energy from the light is used to split water into elemental O and molecular 2H+.In this form the kinetic light energy is converted to stored chemical energy.

Answer 2

It causes electrons to gain energy and leace the chlorophyll molecule. As these electrons pass down an ETC(Electron Transport Chain), they lose energy, which is used to make ATP. (and ATP is adenosine triphosphate. Its basically an energy molecule)

Answer 3

It is " cracked " to provide electrons in replacement of the electrons that are excited to a higher energy state and enter photosystem II when photons of light strike the pigment chlorophyll. Hydrogen and oxygen are the result.

Answer 4

photosynthesis takes place producing oxygen and sugars for the tree

Answer 5

When light strikes a molecule of chlorophyll, it makes the electrons excited so they jump up to a higher level.

Answer 6

They are split, the hydrogen is coupled to carbon (of CO2) and the oxygen is released.

Answer 7

water is split into hydrogen and oxygen

Answer 8
