They come from Photosystem ll. Photosystem ll gets them by ripping the electrons off of water by a process called photolysis.
Electrons gain energy first in Photosystem ll, then later in photosystem l, through the absorption of energy from light.
gain of electrons = reduction
The reaction of Al and FeCl3 to form Fe and Al2O3 is a redox reaction, specifically a single replacement reaction where Fe gains electrons (reduction) and Al loses electrons (oxidation). The release of energy indicates that it is an exothermic reaction.

A reaction that results in a loss of electrons is called an oxidation reaction. During oxidation, an atom, ion, or molecule loses electrons, which increases its oxidation state. This process is often coupled with a reduction reaction, where another species gains the electrons that have been lost. Together, these reactions are part of redox (reduction-oxidation) processes.

When a substance gains an electron or electrons, this is known as "reduction". For every reduction reaction, there is also an oxidation reaction. So, whatever substance "gave" the electrons, underwent oxidation.
Oxygen (O2) is the oxidizing agent in this reaction, as it gains electrons during the reaction to form water (H2O).

anode
Electrons are transferred and energy is released during chemical reactions, such as in redox reactions where one species loses electrons (oxidation) and another gains electrons (reduction). This transfer of electrons leads to the formation of new chemical bonds and the release of energy in the form of heat or light.

A reaction that results in a loss of electrons is called an oxidation reaction. During oxidation, an atom, ion, or molecule loses electrons, which increases its oxidation state. This process is often coupled with a reduction reaction, where another species gains the electrons that have been lost. Together, these reactions are part of redox (reduction-oxidation) processes.
A redox reaction can be determined by looking at whether there is a transfer of electrons between the reactants. If one substance loses electrons (oxidation) and another gains electrons (reduction), then it is a redox reaction.
