Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electrons for photosynthesis come from H2O, which is split during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. This process is known as photolysis or photodissociation. The oxygen released during this process is what we breathe and the electrons are used to power the creation of ATP during the light-dependent reactions.
