Water is broken by photolysis .
What is light harvesting?
light harvesting is a set of photosynthetic pigment molecules that absorb light and channel the energy to the photosynthetic reaction centre, where the light reactions of photosynthesis occur.

What happens when pigments absorb light?
the electrons of the pigment molecules excite, then the energy dissipates as heat.
