Summary Introduction

To review:

The end product of photosynthesis when H₂S (hydrogen sulfide) is the source of hydrogen atoms.

Introduction:

Enzyme regulated anabolic process by which anorganic compound is produced with the help of carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight within the chlorophyll-containing cell is called photosynthesis. Green plants and other organisms use H₂O (water) to generate oxygen as the by-product. Some bacteria show anoxygenic photosynthesis that uses H₂ S.H ₂S is a colorless, poisonous, corrosive, and flammable chalcogen hydride gas thathas awful smell of rotten egg.
