Definitions [4]
Define the following term:
Photolysis of water
Releasing electrons and dividing the water molecule (H2O) into its two components (Hydrogen and Oxygen). Photolysis is the term used to describe this reaction, which is characterised by the fracturing of molecules by light (photo = light, lysis = breaking).
Photosynthesis is the process by which living plant cells, containing chlorophyll, produce food substances (glucose and starch) from carbon dioxide and water by using light energy. Plants release oxygen as a byproduct during photosynthesis.
