I know anoxygenic does not use water. It must use CO2 or some organic molecule for its process of photosynthesis to occur. I also know what anoxy. only uses 1 photosystem while oxygenic uses 2 photosystems. Cyanobacteria is an example of a microbes that uses the icy. Photosynthesis....but what are some other differences between the two? Can you help me out? You are surely appreciated.
What else can I help you with?
What is the type of photosynthesis that does not produce oxygen?
Anoxygenic photosynthesis is a type of photosynthesis that does not produce oxygen. This process is primarily carried out by certain bacteria, such as green sulfur bacteria and purple bacteria, which do not use water as an electron donor and therefore do not release oxygen as a byproduct. Instead, they use alternative electron donors in their photosynthetic reactions.
Are cyanobacterium prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
The kingdom Plantae falls under the domain Eukaryota.
Photosystems 1 and 2 are both located in the thylakoid membrane what advantage does their proximity provide?
The close proximity of photosystems I and II in the thylakoid membrane allows for efficient transfer of electrons between the two complexes. This facilitates the rapid movement of electrons during the light reactions of photosynthesis, maximizing the production of ATP and NADPH.
Does water molecules become part of sugar molecules during photosynthesis?
Glucose and other sugars (all made during photosynthesis) are the fuels that power all living things. Since water is used as the electron donor in oxygenic photosynthesis, it become part of the sugar molecules......................................................... by sandeep
How do plants create their own energy?
From Wiki: "photosynthesis"Since water is used as the electron donor in oxygenic photosynthesis, the equation for this process is: 2n CO2 + 2n H2O + photons → 2(CH2O)n + 2n O2carbon dioxide + water + light energy → carbohydrate + oxygenANSWER = carbohydrates (sugars)
What are different types of phototrophic organism?
Phototrophic organisms can be broadly categorized into two main types: oxygenic and anoxygenic phototrophs. Oxygenic phototrophs, such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, primarily through photosynthesis. Anoxygenic phototrophs, including certain purple and green bacteria, utilize light energy for photosynthesis but do not produce oxygen, often using substances like hydrogen sulfide instead of water. These organisms play vital roles in ecosystems, contributing to primary production and nutrient cycling.
What is the ultimate electron donor?
The final electron acceptor is NADP. In oxygenic photosynthesis, the first electron donor is water, creating oxygen as a waste product. In anoxygenic photosynthesis various electron donors are used. Cytochrome b6f and ATP synthase work together to create ATP.
Are all organisms that are photosynthetic are oxygenic?
No, not all photosynthetic organisms are oxygenic. Oxygenic photosynthesis is the main process in which plants, algae, and cyanobacteria produce oxygen as a byproduct. However, there are some photosynthetic bacteria that do not produce oxygen during photosynthesis.
What carries out photosynthesis in bacteria?
In bacteria, photosynthesis is carried out by pigmented structures called chromatophores or thylakoids, rather than specialized organelles like chloroplasts in plants. These structures contain the necessary pigments and enzymes to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy for the cell. Bacteria that perform photosynthesis are usually classified as either anoxygenic (using other electron donors besides water) or oxygenic (producing oxygen as a byproduct).
Does bacteria trap energy in an ecosystem?
Yes, there are certain bacterial species which trap light energy coming from sun in the process of photosynthesis or there are some photosynthetic bacterial species whcih carry anoxygenic light reaction of photosynthesis. Bacterial photosynthesis is broadly of two types: Purple Nonsulfur bacterial photosynthesis and Green sulfur bacterial photosynthesis.
Are Chlorobium and Clostridium photosynthetic bacteria?
Yes, Chlorobium and Clostridium are both types of bacteria, but only Chlorobium is considered photosynthetic. Chlorobium, a genus of green sulfur bacteria, utilizes light for energy through photosynthesis, specifically anoxygenic photosynthesis. In contrast, Clostridium is primarily known for its role in anaerobic fermentation and does not perform photosynthesis.
What chemical reaction takes place in plankton that is vital for life on your planet?
water splitting(oxidation of water to molecular oxygen during oxygenic photosynthesis by Oxygen Evolving Complex in photosystem 2)

Are cyanobacterium prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
The kingdom Plantae falls under the domain Eukaryota.
Do archaea conduct photosynthesis?
Yes, some archaea are capable of photosynthesis, but their mechanisms differ from those in plants and some bacteria. For instance, certain halophilic archaea, like Halobacterium, use a pigment called bacteriorhodopsin to capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy, rather than using chlorophyll. This form of photosynthesis is called "bacteriorhodopsin-based phototrophy" and is distinct from the oxygenic photosynthesis seen in plants. Overall, while not as common as in other domains of life, photosynthesis does occur in some archaeal species.
What was the appearance of aerobic life made possible by?
The appearance of aerobic life was made possible by the evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis, which involved the conversion of sunlight and carbon dioxide into energy and oxygen. This process resulted in the accumulation of atmospheric oxygen, creating an environment suitable for aerobic organisms to thrive.
Where do electrons get their energy light reactions?
.From photons in solar energy
