Photolysis splits water into H+, electrons, and oxygen; the oxidized chlorophyll accepts the electrons, the H+ ions are used in non-cyclic photophosphorylation, and oxygen is released.
- H2O --> 2H+ + 2e- + 1/2 O2 - oxidised chlorophyll accepts electrons - 2H+ used in non-cyclic photophosphorylation - oxygen released
