Bacteria and eukaryotes(plants), both are autotrophes but the major difference is that bacteria show chemosynthesis while plants show photosynthesis.

In chemosynthesis the energy in the form of food is derived from chemical substances while in photosynthesis sunlight is main source of energy to prepare food.

Bacteria also carry out photosynthesis. In eukaryotic photosynthesis H2O is utilized while photosynthetic bacteria utilize H2S. Eukaryotes liberate oxygen while bacteria liberate sulphur.

Eukaryotic photosynthesis occurs by the help of chloroplast which encloses chlorophyll while bacterial chlorophyll is not enclosed in chloroplast.

Some of the functions of the eukaryotic organelles are performed in bacteria by the?

Some functions of eukaryotic organelles, like photosynthesis in chloroplasts and energy production in mitochondria, are performed by bacteria such as cyanobacteria and proteobacteria. Bacteria can also carry out protein synthesis similar to the endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotic cells.


Are bacteria eukaryotic cells?

No, bacteria are not eukaryotic cells. Bacteria are classified as prokaryotic cells, meaning they lack a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells. This fundamental difference in cell structure is one of the key distinctions between bacteria and eukaryotic organisms.


What are eukaryotic bacteria?

Why does photosynthesis occur in eukaryotic cells?

In order for photosynthesis to occur, the organelle chloroplast is needed. Eukaryotic cells (typically plants) do contain chloroplasts which the plant can use to make food. However, there are several prokaryotic organisms such as the purple bacteria that contains a different kind of chlorophyll and can photosynthesize.


Are cyanobacterium prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

The kingdom Plantae falls under the domain Eukaryota.


Is cyan bacteria a plant or animal?

Neither, Cyanobacteria is a prokaryote. Animals and plants are Eukaryotes. They exist in separate domains of life. Photosynthesis originates in prokaryotic cells (bacteria) and plants are descended from eukaryotic protists (green algae) which had formed endosymbiosis with captured bacteria.


Do bacteria have the ability to perform photosynthesis?

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


Are algae prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

Bacteria are the only prokaryotes, so algae are eukaryotic.


Do some bacteria engage in photosynthesis?

Yes, some bacteria engage in photosynthesis.


Does bacteria have prokaryotic?

Bacteria have prokaryotic cells. They do not have eukaryotic cells.


Are plants prokarotic or eukaryotic?

Plants are eukaryotic. The only prokaryotes are in the domains Archaea and Bacteria.


How do eukaryotic cells get energy?

Eukaryotic cells obtain energy through the consumption of organic compounds or photosynthesis.
