Question

Where is the water-splitting complex associated with PS-II situated? (A) Inner side of chloroplast outer membrane (B) Inner side of thylakoid membrane (C) Outer side of thylakoid membrane (D) Outer side of chloroplast outer membrane

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The splitting of water is associated with the PSII and takes place on the inner side of the membrane. The protons or hydrogen ions that are produced by the splitting of water accumulate within the lumen of the thylakoids. This also creates oxygen, one of the net products of photosynthesis.
