b) what is the significance of this reaction
a) This reaction takes place inside the lumen of the thallakoid membrane of chloroplasts during non-cyclic photo-phosphorylation.
b) This reaction involves the splitting of water molecules and is significant in order to provide free electrons to PS-II to replenish the expense of electrons lost by PS-II in order to keep the process going.
