what is the process in which water is split during photosynthesis

The process through which water splits during photosynthesis is known photolysis of water. In photosynthesis the light energy absorbed by the chlorophyll breaks down water molecules that release oxygen.

Photolysis... Hydrolysis is a chemical process that breaks down organic molecules with the aid of an enzyme and the addition of water. Photolysis occurs because photons of light break up the water molecule when it hits photosystem II.   Since water is comprised of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, when it is split into atoms by plants during photosynthesis the only other atoms other than oxygen that are produced are hydrogen...
