During the light reactions of photosynthesis, why is a molecule of water split? to provide energy for the electron transport chain
a.) to provide energy for the electron transport chain
b.) to produce electrons that replace the two electrons that were lost from the chlorophyll molecule
c.) to assist in the process that produces ATP
d.) to form NADPH

B

Explanation:

Electrons from photosystem II go through the ECT in the chloroplast, so water is split to replace those electrons.

hydrogen is a compound or a single element and a element is a pure substence that cannot be separated into simpler subtances

clorine is a compound its a chemical substance that forms when two or more different elements combine

so both hydrogen and clorine are compounds

emerging idea only occurs as a raw idea that could appear out of nowhere. meanwhile, to reach scientific consensus , that idea must be structured and tested over and over again through various experiments. the scientific consensus transforms the raw idea into idea that is more reliable through the process of scientific elimination.
