Question

Refer to the given reaction. 
$ 2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} ightarrow 4 \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{O}_{2}+4 \mathrm{e}^{-} $
 Where does this reaction take place in the chloroplasts of plants?\

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(b) : The splitting of water is associated with the PS II. Water split into $\mathrm{H}^{+},[\mathrm{O}]$ and electrons. The electrons needed to replace those removed from photosystem I are provided by photosystem II. $$ 2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow 4 \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{O}_{2}+4 e^{-} $$ Water splitting complex is associated with the PSII, which itself is physically located on the inner side of the membrane of the thylakoid.\
