In the process of photosynthesis, electrons lost by Photosystem II (PS II) must be continuously replaced. Considering the location and function of the water-splitting complex associated with PS II, where are the protons (H⁺) and oxygen (O₂) released?
1. Protons (H⁺) are released into the stroma, and O₂ is released into the lumen of the thylakoid.
2. Protons (H⁺) are released into the lumen of the thylakoid, and O₂ is released into the stroma.
3. Both protons (H⁺) and O₂ are released into the lumen of the thylakoid.
4. Both protons (H⁺) and O₂ are released into the stroma.
