The splitting up of water molecule into two hydrogen ions and an oxygen atom, by light is called:
Correct answer: C. Photolysis of water
- A. Electrolysis of water
- B. Ionization of water
- C. Photolysis of water
- D. Autolysis
Explanation
Photo means light and lysis means splitting up. So splitting up of water by light is called photolysis of water.

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.
