No, bacteria cannot perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process that requires chlorophyll, a pigment found in plants and some algae, to convert sunlight into energy. Bacteria do not have chlorophyll and therefore cannot carry out photosynthesis.

No, bacteria do not have the ability to perform photosynthesis.


Can some bacteria perform photosynthesis?

Yes, some bacteria, such as cyanobacteria, are capable of performing photosynthesis.


What can cyanobacteria do that bacteria can not?

Perform photosynthesis and produce their own food.


Are there any animals which perform photosynthesis and contain chlorophyll?

There are no animals that perform photosynthesis but there are a group of bacteria called cyanobacteria that rely partially on photosynthesis to generate metabolic energy.


Can bacteria be used to perform photosynthesis?

Some are naturally but you can't 'make' them do it.

Does respiration and photosynthesis both occur in all living things?

No, not all living things perform both respiration and photosynthesis. Plants, algae, and some bacteria perform photosynthesis, while most organisms, including plants, animals, and bacteria, perform respiration to generate energy.


Bacteria do not have chloroplasts but bacteria some bacteria are photoautotrophic in nature and perform photosynthesis which part of bactrial cell perform this?

In photoautotrophic bacteria, photosynthesis occurs in structures called thylakoids or within the cytoplasmic membrane, rather than in chloroplasts, which are absent in prokaryotic cells. These structures contain pigments like bacteriochlorophyll that capture light energy for the process of photosynthesis. Examples of such bacteria include cyanobacteria, which have thylakoid membranes that facilitate this function.


Do animals perform photosynthesis?

No, animals do not perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process carried out by plants, algae, and some bacteria to convert sunlight into energy, while animals obtain energy by consuming other organisms or organic matter.


Bacteria are the only organisms that can?

Bacteria are the only organisms that can convert nitrogen into a usable form. Diazotroph or nitrogen-fixing bacteria are types of bacteria that perform this ability.


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

Bacteria such as cyanobacteria are able to carry out photosynthesis, while viruses lack the cellular machinery to perform photosynthesis. Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that require a host cell to replicate and do not possess the cellular machinery needed for photosynthesis.
