Answer AND Explanation:

Water is involved during the first phase of photosynthesis. the radiant energy from the sun is trapped by chlorophyll and converted to chemical energy. As a molecule of water is travelling through the process of photosynthesis, the energy is used to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen atoms. The oxygen formed is released into the environment and hydrogen used to form glucose.
