Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Oxygen gas is produced during photosynthesis by photolysis of water in the chloroplasts of algae and green plants and in the thylakoid of cyanobacteria. The chlorophyll of photosystem II absorbs light energy which leads to the excitation and knocking out of an electron within the photosystem.

The energy released as a result of returning the electrons to the ground state in an acceptor molecule is used in splitting water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The electron released from the splitting of water replaces the one knocked out from the photosystem II while oxygen atoms from two water molecules combine to form diatomic oxygen which is later released as oxygen gas.

The whole process of photolysis of water and the release of oxygen gas happens during the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis.

Which is colder the east or west coast of southern Africa.why<br><br>​
Aneli [31]

West Coast water temperatures are much lower than those along the East Coast. ... This means Atlantic waters travel to the U.S. East Coast from the south and are relatively warm compared with West Coast Pacific waters that arrive from the north out of the chilly Gulf of Alaska.

The air above the cold Benguela current and upwelling region along the west coast is relatively dry and cold, contributing to the dry climate of the west coast. Moist air from the warm Indian Ocean and Agulhas Current is frequently transported into eastern South Africa by easterly winds.
