The process in which water is split during photosynthesis and essential for photosynthesis:
Correct answer: D. Photolysis
- A. Hydrolysis
- B. Hemolysis
- C. Plasmolysis
- D. Photolysis
Explanation
Photolysis, also known as photodissociation or photodecomposition, refers to the process by which a chemical compound is broken down or decomposed into smaller parts through the absorption of light energy. This phenomenon is particularly important in the context of photosynthesis and atmospheric chemistry.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
