What step occur in photosystem 2?

In Photosystem II, the process begins when light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll, exciting electrons and initiating the electron transport chain. Water molecules are split in a process called photolysis, releasing oxygen and providing replacement electrons for the chlorophyll. The energized electrons are then transferred through a series of proteins in the thylakoid membrane, ultimately contributing to the production of ATP and NADPH. This process is crucial for capturing and converting solar energy into chemical energy in plants.
