A water molecule falls on a chlorophyl molecule in a leaf. The Oxygen lies holding its two hydrogen atoms apart. A photon of light hits the electron holding one of the hydrogen atoms to the oxygen atom and it lets go. The chlorophyl molecule passes that hydrogen atom to another molecule. Then another photon of light hits the electron holding the other hydrogen atom to the oxygen atom and it lets go and the chlorophyl molecule passes that hydrogen atom to yet another molecule. At that point the chlorophyl molecule lets go of the oxygen atom. It meets up with an oxygen atom from another chlorophyl molecule. The two get together and leave the leaf.
