Photosynthesis question - (Dec/27/2008 )

Note: This is not a homework question. This is part of a study effort for a big upcoming test.

Question: What is photolysis? HOW is photolysis accomplished (proteins, etc.)??????

Progress on question: My textbook says that it is accomplished by enzymes but wikipedia and many sites have different definitions of photolysis (they describe different processes) from my book. I got really confused and turned here.

Light springs to mind... light collected by the chlorophyll converted into chemical energy..
