Chapter 11.12, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
Oxygenic photosynthesis in bacteria is similar way as compared to plants. The light harvesting pigments that are present in the bacteria absorb carbon dioxide and release water. Some of the bacteria that carry out oxygenic photosynthesis is Cyanobacteria and Cyanophyta.

- What is the overall purpose of the light reactions in photosynthesis?arrow_forwardMelvin Calvin and Andrew Benson determined the steps in the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis by exposing the green alga Chlorella to CO2 labeled with the radioisotope carbon 14. By looking at which compounds the C14 ended up in, they were able to identify all intermediates in this cyclic pathway.
