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.

Are there chloroplast cells in bacteria?

Chloroplasts are NOT cells - so your answer would be no. BUT if you mean do chloroplasts exist in bacteria then the answer is Sometimes. Where the answer is yes the bacteria is referred to as blue-green algae.


Is bacteria used in photosynthesis no they are not?

Some of them can do. but the are not having chloroplasts.


Does bacteria go through photosynthesis?

No, bacteria do not go through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process that involves converting light energy into chemical energy, typically carried out by plants, algae, and some bacteria. Bacteria do not have the necessary structures, such as chloroplasts, to carry out photosynthesis.


Is bacteria in Chloroplast?

Bacteria are Monera. Chloroplasts belong to Protista. Bacteria Do not have chloroplast which prepare food and are parasites while chloroplasts have chloroplast and prepare their own food. Diatoms are chloroplasts


Do some bacteria have chlorophyll in chloroplasts so they can conduct photosynthesis.?

No, bacteria generally do not have chloroplasts to begin with. Photosynthetic bacteria contain bacteriochlorophyll, which is similar to the chlorophyll found in plant cells that allow photosynthesis to take place. One distinct phylum of photosynthetic bacteria, known as cyanobacteria, are thought to be the ancestor organisms that eventually evolved into the chloroplasts that are found in modern plants.


Is chlorophyll in blue bacteria found in chloroplasts?

No, blue-green bacteria do not have chloroplasts. Instead, they contain specialized structures called thylakoids where the photosynthetic pigments, including chlorophyll, are located. These thylakoids are involved in the process of photosynthesis in blue-green bacteria.


What is a characteristic of chloroplasts that suggests that they might have evolved from free-living bacteria?

The presence of a double membrane in chloroplasts, similar to that in prokaryotic cells, is a characteristic that suggests they may have evolved from free-living bacteria. Additionally, chloroplasts contain their own circular DNA, similar to bacteria, and replicate independently within the cell.


Is the chlorophyll in blue-green bacteria found in the chloroplasts?

They are type of bacteria. They do not have choroplasts


How chloroplast is similar to bacterium?

They got circular DNA. They also have 70s ribosomes.


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.


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.


Where does photosynthesis take place in a photoautotrophic bacterium?

Photosynthesis in photoautotrophic bacteria takes place in specialized cellular structures called chlorosomes. These structures contain pigments that capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy for the cell to use in synthesizing organic compounds.
