### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Absorption of Light**: - The first step in the light phase of photosynthesis involves the absorption of light by chlorophyll, the green pigment found in plant cells. Chlorophyll captures light energy from the sun, which is essential for the subsequent reactions. 2. **Photolysis of Water**: - The second step is the photolysis of water. In this process, water molecules (H₂O) are split into oxygen (O₂), protons (H⁺), and electrons (e⁻) using the energy absorbed by chlorophyll. This reaction releases oxygen as a byproduct. ...
