The water splitting step in photosynthesis is critical as a source of hydrogen ions (protons). These provide essential chemical energy to drive later chemical reactions.

During the dark reactions the reaction center splits water?

During the dark reactions (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis, water is not split. Instead, the dark reactions use the products of the light reactions (ATP and NADPH) to convert carbon dioxide into glucose through a series of enzyme-controlled reactions. The splitting of water occurs in the light reactions at Photosystem II to generate oxygen, electrons, and protons.


What is split to replenish the electrons?

During the process of photosynthesis, water is split to replenish the electrons lost during the light-dependent reactions. This splitting of water occurs in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts and produces oxygen as a byproduct.
