Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -What is photooxidation? As the name denotes, photooxidation is the oxidation reaction happening in the presence of light energy. When high-intensity light hits the plant, there is an excitation of energy that leads to the oxidation process. The accumulation of reactive oxygen harms the plants.
Detailed explanation-2: -During photolysis or photooxidation, an oxidized chlorophyll molecule takes away a replacement electron from water, which breaks to release oxygen. This generally occurs in the grana that is the lumen side of the thylakoid membrane with the help of water splitting complex also known as OEC (oxygen-evolving complex).
