H2O (water) splits into oxygen and hydrogen during photosynthesis. The oxygen gets released, and the hydrogen helps form glucose!
Water is the unsung hero in photosynthesis. It provides the electrons and protons needed to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
Water gets split by sunlight, producing oxygen as a byproduct and providing the necessary hydrogen to produce glucose.
Photosynthesis without water? Nope, can't happen. H2O splits to release oxygen and supply hydrogen for making glucose.
