Q. The main difference between photosynthetic and chemosynthetic bacteria is that:
- Water is used by photosynthetic bacteria whereas it is rejected by chemosynthetic bacteria
- Photosynthetic bacteria are seen as parasites within green plant cells whereas chemosynthetic bacteria are seen as saprophytes on other decaying food substances
