Question

What are the photosynthetic pigments of bacteria?

Answer 1

Photosynthetic Pigments of Bacteria:

1. Photosynthesis is an oxidation-reduction reaction that uses light energy to oxidise water, releasing oxygen gas and hydrogen ions, and then transfers electrons to carbon dioxide, reducing it to organic molecules.
2. Bacteriochlorophyll is a type of chlorophyll that can be found in bacteria. Only bacteria contain this type of chlorophyll.
3. Another type of photosynthetic pigment found in halobacteria is bacteriorhodopsin.
