During the light-dependent phase of photosynthesis, the water molecule is broken down into:
Correct answer: A. 2H, 2e and 1/2 O₂
- A. 2H, 2e and 1/2 O₂
- B. 4H, 4e and 2 O₂
- C. 2H, 2e and 2 O₂
- D. 4H, 2e and 4 O₂
Explanation
2H, 2e and 1/2 O₂ - Correct. Photolysis of water during photosynthesis produces 2 protons (H⁺), 2 electrons (e⁻), and ½ molecule of oxygen (O₂) per water molecule.
