Water is broken apart to release oxygen (O2), which is a product of photosynthesis, and two hydrogen ions.
The electrons are taken from the hydrogens to form hydrogen ions (H+). The electrons replace those lost in the chlorophyll when it absorbed a photon of light and was sent to transfer the high energy to make ATP.
What else can I help you with?
What are the 2 main reactions in photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis happens in two stages, also called reactions. The first stage is the light-dependent stage. In this stage light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted into chemical energy, and water is split to produce hydrogen. The unwanted oxygen from the water is released. The second stage is the light-independent stage. In this stage the chemical energy and the hydrogen from the first stage are used to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates, such as glucose. More details can be found on this site by searching for photosynthesis.
What molecule is split during the light reactions of photosynthesis of release oxygen?
Water molecules are split during the light reactions of photosynthesis to release oxygen. This process is known as photolysis, where water is broken down into oxygen, protons, and electrons in the presence of light.
Which stage uses the reactant water from the overall photosynthesis equation?
it's the stage that involves light absorbing pigments such as chlorophyll and produces oxygen by the photolysis of water. An electron transport chain produces NADPH directly, and ATP indirectly through a proton gradient that it sets up as happens in mitochondria.
What molecule is split during the light reactions of photosynthesis to release oxygen?
Water molecule is split during the light reactions of photosynthesis to release oxygen.
How are dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions related?
dehydration synthesis is when water is formed when combining two molecules. hydrolysis is adding water to make one molecule into two separate molecules.
Where do the lightdependent reactions take place?
on the thykaloid membranes of the chloroplast.
What happens during a chemical reactions involving acids bases and water?
Acid + Base = Salt + Water Acid + Water = Base + Water = Electrolytic Water Solution since the ions are still disassociated.
What happens when silver reacts to water and what happens when you apply pressure to them like in a combustion?
There won't be any reactions with water.Silver can only react with sulfuric acid or nitric acid, and not with hydrochloric acid
What chemical reactions happen while bartending?
You need to be more specific with this question, forced chemical reactions? What happens to the patron? What happens to the drink?
Does chemical reactions need water?
Not all chemical reactions require water. While many reactions may occur in the presence of water, there are also reactions that take place in other solvents or under dry conditions. The presence of water can often act as a catalyst or a medium for facilitating certain reactions, but it is not a universal requirement for all chemical reactions.
Water as h and oh ions is essential in biochemical reactions such as?
acid and base reactions
What happens if the forward and reverse reactions are equal?
Equilibrium.
What happens when both chemicals are alkaline?
Displacement may occur, or if both are made up in water, displacement reactions may occur between the ions of water and each chemical may occur
What happens during metabolism ATP?
it is broken down to fuel chemical reactions & is created by chemical reactions.
Is water a catalyst in chemical reactions?
No, water is not a catalyst in chemical reactions. It can act as a solvent or a medium for reactions to occur, but it does not speed up the reaction itself.
Why is water important in the cells in your body explain with chemical reactions?
It speeds up the chemical reactions so most reactions wouldn't happen without water.
What happens when a chemical reactions?
new products should be formed
