Answer:

Water is split during the light reaction to form oxygen

Step-by-step explanation:

The hydrogen ions formed are super important for photosynthesis. They will be used to create ATP molecules. The ATP molecules will be used later on in the dark reaction (also called the Calvin cycle). The ATP molecules allow the plant cell to assemble carbon based molecules like glucose.
