In photosystem II (PSII), the primary step involves the absorption of light energy by chlorophyll, which excites electrons. This energy drives the splitting of water molecules (photolysis), releasing oxygen and protons while generating high-energy electrons. These excited electrons are then transferred through an electron transport chain, ultimately contributing to the production of ATP and NADPH for the Calvin cycle.
