Solution

Thylakoids:
Thylakoids are the site for light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis to occur.
These reactions occur because of a green pigment named chlorophyll, present in the thylakoid membranes.
Chlorophyll captures energy from the sun to initiate the breakdown of water molecules.
Final answer:
Thylakoids get activated by absorbing light energy. This energy splits water.
