No many prokaryotic cells can use inorganic chemical compounds (S and Fe) in chemosynthetic processes to fix Carbon into organic molecules - Some chemosynthetic prokaryotes are Archaeans and some are in the Domain Bacteria

What happens because of photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide, water, and light energy are used to produce glucose and oxygen. The process provides a pathway to turn light energy into chemical energy. This energy is used by all heterotrophs (such as animals, fungi, and many bacteria) to support all cellular functions. In a way, because of photosynthesis, most life on Earth can exist.
What is a plant cell's source of energy for photosynthesis?
sunlight
Organisms that get energy by consuming food?
All animals, carnivorous plants, and some bacteria.
What is the effect of light on the rate of dark reaction of photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy by living organisms. The raw materials are carbon dioxide and water, the energy source is sunlight, and the end-products include glucose and oxygen. It is arguably the most important biochemical pathway, since nearly all life depends on it. It is a complex process occurring in higher plants, phytoplankton, algae, as well as bacteria such as cyanobacteria. Photosynthetic organisms are also referred to as photoautotrophs.
Define the process of photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are similar because they are opposite processes, the equations are reverse, both take place in plants, some bacteria/prokaryotes, and algae. They are different because cellular respiration releases energy, takes place in mitochondria, releases carbon dioxide and water, and uses oxygen to release energy from food. Photosynthesis stores energy, takes place in chloroplasts, produces carbon dioxide and water, and releases oxygen into the atmosphere and food (sugar).Photosynthesis combines CO2 and H2O, producing glucose and O2Captures about 1% of energy= in variety of organismAnoxygenic without oxygen in purple bacteria, green sulfur bacteria, green nonsulfur bacteria, and heliobacteriaOxygenic in cyanobacteria, 7 algae groups all land plants= in leaves with chloroplastsThree stagesCapture energy fron sunUse energy to make ATP and reduce NAP+ to NADPHUse ATP and NADPH to power synthesis of organic molecules from CO2 in airFirst two- light-dependent --> third carbon fixation- with cylic series of reactions as long as have stuffLight-independent- third in light or not as long as have ATP or NADPHCarbon dioxide + water + light --> glucose + water + oxygen = reverse of respirationOxidation of H2O and reduction of CO2 requires light
How are photoautotrophs and photoheterotrophs?
Photoautotrophs: Bacteria that use sunlight as their energy source and carbon dioxide (as part of photosynthesis) as their carbon source. These bacteria thus obtain all their nourishment through photosynthesis Photoheterotrophs: Bacteria that use sunlight as their energy source and organic compounds from the environment as their carbon source.
What provides the initial source of energy for photosynthesis?
All energy needed for photosynthesis comes from the sun.
Is warmth necessary for photosynthesis?
Nope. All u need is carbon dioxide, light energy,chlorophyll and water.

What makes bacteria grow faster?
Some bacteria are autotrophs. This means they produce their own food, allowing them to grow on their own terms. As well, bacteria grow by binary fission, whereas fungi have to grow by either branching and elongating, or budding, which takes longer.
What takes in carbon dioxide?
Most bacteria and all plants consume carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.
Is light energy sun light?
All light is light energy, not just sunlight.
What is a plant cell's source of energy for photosynthesis?
sunlight
Is there such thing as light energy?
there is such thing as light energy we all us light DOH
What is most single celled organisms?
all contain carbon
How does photosyntesis take place?
Photosynthesis is a process in which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose. It takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells, where chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process releases oxygen into the atmosphere, making it essential for all aerobic organisms on Earth.
What is the original source of almost all the the energy in .?
carbon
