Photolysis breaks down H2O molecules into H+, electrons, and O2 using light energy. The electrons replace those lost from Photosystem II (PSII), and the reaction is catalyzed by the O2-evolving complex, part of PSII.
La fotólisis descompone las moléculas de H2O en H+, electrones y O2 utilizando la energía de la luz. Los electrones reemplazan a los perdidos en el fotosistema II (PSII) y la reacción es catalizada por el complejo que libera O2, parte del fotosistema II.
