Question 17
Cyanobacteria and some other photosynthetic bacteria don't have chloroplasts. How do they conduct photosynthesis?

Open in App

Solution

The cyanobacteria and photosynthetic bacteria are prokaryotes. They do not have well defined membrane bound cell organelles, but these organisms have photosynthetic pigments in a membranous form, which are primitive in nature but can trap and use solar energy. So they can carry out photosynthesis.
