Question

the splitting of water at photosystem ii is known as ____ and results in the production of ____. a. photosynthesis: carbon dioxide, g3p, and electrons that are given to photosystem ii. b. the calvin cycle: carbon dioxide, g3p, and electrons that are given to photosystem ii. c. chemiosmosis: oxygen, hydrogen ions (protons), glucose and electrons that are given to photosystem ii. d. photolysis: oxygen, hydrogen ions (protons), and electrons that are given to photosystem ii.

Explanation:

Photolysis is the process of water - splitting at photosystem II. It results in the production of oxygen, hydrogen ions (protons), and electrons that are passed to photosystem II. Photosynthesis is the overall process of converting light energy to chemical energy. The Calvin cycle is involved in carbon - fixation. Chemiosmosis is related to the generation of ATP through an electrochemical gradient.

Answer:

D. Photolysis: oxygen, hydrogen ions (protons), and electrons that are given to photosystem II.
