The minerals involved in waer splitting reaction during photosynthesis are

Options

A. magnesium and chlorine
B. potassium and manganese
C. manganese and chlorine
D. molybdenum and manganese

Answer

C

Explanation

Photolysis of water or water splitting reaction during photosynthesis is associated with pigment system-II and are catalysed by the presence of `Mn^(2+)` and `Cl^(-)` ions.
`4H_(2) hArr H^(+)+4OH^(-)`
`4OH^(-) underset(Mn^(2+),Cl^(-)) overset("Z coomplex")to2H_(2)O+O_(2)uarr+4e^(-)`
