Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where does oxygen gas was produced?
A
By splitting the water molecules
B
Excitation of electron in reaction center
C
Electron transport chain
D
Photosystem I
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The splitting of water by the light energy release oxygen gas during photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The splitting of water and the generation of oxygen occur at the oxygen evolving complex of photosystem ii in the chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-3: -The splitting of water is associated with PS II, wherein the molecule of water splits into hydrogen ions, oxygen atoms and an electron. Thus, oxygen is referred to as the net product of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The best way to do this would be by splitting water (H2O) into its constituents: hydrogen and oxygen. This is possible using a process known as electrolysis, which involves running a current through a water sample containing some soluble electrolyte.

Detailed explanation-5: -Electrolysis of water is the decomposition of water (H2O) into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2) due to an electric current being passed through the water.
