Question
Oxygen given out during photosynthesis comes from water. Explain this statement.
Solution
During the process of photolysis under light reaction, the water molecule split up to release H+ and OH– ions. These OH– react to liberate oxygen. Thus we can say that oxygen liberated during photosynthesis comes from water.
