Answer: Chemiosmosis

Step-by-step explanation:

Light energy is absorbed by the chlorophyll molecule and then the photon is passed on the other molecules of chlorophyll.

The energy excites one of the electron so as to leave the molecule and transfer its energy to the primary electron acceptor nearby them.

A molecule of water splits to release electron along with oxygen and hydrogen.
