Question

Does Photosynthesis Occur in Bacteria? If Yes, Then How?

Answer 1

Photosynthesis:

1. The method through which green plants and some other creatures produce nutrients from carbon dioxide and water using sunshine.
2. In most cases, the green pigment chlorophyll is used in photosynthesis in plants, which produces oxygen as a byproduct.

Photosynthesis in Bacteria:

1. Some bacteria, such as cyanobacteria and purple and green sulfur bacteria, engage in photosynthesis.
2. Since bacteria don't have chloroplasts, photosynthetic pigments are found in their membrane folds.
3. Blue-green algae, often known as cyanobacteria, have chlorophyll and are able to perform oxygenic photosynthesis just like plants.
4. While plants evolve oxygen, other microorganisms do anoxygenic photosynthesis. They use H2S and other compounds as reducing agents and have
