4. The form of photosynthesis first comes in mind that is carried out by the plants is oxygenic photosynthesis because one of its products is molecular oxygen, resulting from the oxidation of water. This form of photosynthesis is also carried out by cyanobacteria and algae. The reactions of oxygenic photosynthesis in algae and plants take place within a special cell organelle, the chloroplast.
5. Photosynthesis by bacteria other than cyanobacteria, does not involve evolution of molecular oxygen. Instead of water (H2O), other electron donors, for example, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), are oxidized. This type of photosynthesis is called anoxygenic photosynthesis.
Anoxygenic photosynthesis is used mainly by the purple bacteria, the green sulfur and nonsulfur bacteria, the heliobacteria and the acidobacteria. Oxygenic photosynthesis is used by the cyanobacteria, the algae, and by plants.
In Oxygenic photosynthesis, electron flow occurs through two different electron transport chains, these electron transport chains are called the Z scheme. The stars of each chain are photosystem I (PSI) and photosystem II (PSII), each containing chlorophyll reaction centers surrounded by antenna pigments. The chlorophyll in PSI is called P700, and the chlorophyll in PSII is called P680, for the wavelengths of light each absorbs most efficiently.
In anoxygenic photosynthesis, many steps are the same as those for oxygenic photosynthesis as light excites the photosynthetic pigments, causing them to donate electrons to the electron transport chain and ATP is again generated from the proton motive force created by electron transport. Anoxygenic photosynthesis differs from oxygenic photosynthesis in the following main ways:

Need help with reviewing my lab report -- Question on Germinating Seeds Plants and plants have been studied for hundreds of years, dating back to the geological era of the Holocene, which began around 11,700 years ago. How to study its effects was by noting the effects of the plants on humans, i.e. herbal medicine, which is the doctrine of how to use herbs in various ways to promote health. Fast-forward to 1665 and using an early microscope to detect...
