Actually some can. There are some photosynthetic bacterias that can make food from sunlight. As for ATP synthesis, every cell is capable of making energy via glycolysis or photosynthesis (both producing minuscule amount, but nonetheless ATP).

Is bacteria responsible for photosynthesis?

There are only few photosynthetic bacteria. Plants and algae carry out photosynthesis in significant amount


What group includes some members that can carry out photosynthesis bacteria or a viruses?

Bacteria


Do birds carry out photosynthesis?

No, only plants, algae, and many species of bacteria, can carry out this process known as photosynthesis. Birds do not have chloroplasts, which are essential for the photosynthesis.


Which structure carry out photosynthesis in some bacteria?

photosynthetic membranes


What is the name of the plant that cannot carry out photosynthesis?

Some bacteria carry out photosynthesis in a manner similar to that of green plants and are called?

photoautotrophs


What are the kinds of photosynthetic bacteria?

Photosynthetic bacteria are called cyanobacteria, such as the blue-green algae found in the oceans. They conduct their photosynthesis on the thylakoids found floating in the cytosol.


Does bacteria have chloropyll?

Chlorophyll is the green pigment which plants use to absorb sunlight. They use the energy of light to make food in the process called photosynthesis. Most bacteria cannot carry out photosynthesis and so do not contain chlorophyll. However some bacteria can photosynthesise, but they contain a slightly different version of chlorophyll called bacteriochlorophyll. These bacteria are called cyanobacteria or (confusingly) blue-green algae.


In autotrophic bacteria where are the enzymes located than can carry on organic synthesis?

free in the cytosol


Does bacteria carry on photosynthesis?

Yes. Bacteria that photosynthesize are called Cyanobacteria. They are a crucial part of many ecosystems, and function as the most basic producers.


Do chloroplast have bacteria?

no.They are only found in photosynthetic eukariyotes. Plants and algae are examples


Why organisms like seaweed and bacteria can carry out photosynthesis?

Organisms like those can carry out photosynthesis because photosynthesis is achieved in organelles called chloroplasts which contain chlorophyll; this is what turn the sunlight, water, and CO2 into glucose. And it can be found in cells, they are not made of cells. Seaweed is basically a larger form of algae or euglena which is a bacteria, and the cells of this contain chloroplasts.
