Oxygen released in photosynthesis comes outby

  • photophosphorylation

  • photolysis of water

  • photorespiration

  • Kelvin cycle


B.

photolysis of water

Oxygen released in process of photosynthesis, comes out by photolysis of water in non- cyclic photophosphorylation. The photolysis of water occurs in presence of manganese (Mn). After the photolysis, the released electron is received by Photosystem-ll and then through electron carriers it moves to Photosystem-I.
