How does a photosynthetic bacteria differ in structure from the cell of green algae
Answers
Like plants and algae, cyanobacteria contain chlorophyll and convert carbon dioxide to sugar through carbon fixation. Unlike eukaryotic plants and algae, cyanobacteria are prokaryotic organisms. ... Cyanobacteria contain the pigments phycoerythrin and phycocyanin, which are responsible for their blue-green color.
EXPLANATION:
Though green algae and bacteria are similar in many ways (single celled, microscopic, photosynthetic), the process of storing the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll and is different in both. In case of the green algae, chlorophyll along with other forms of pigments and chemicals are stored in the chloroplasts of the cell.
In case of the photosynthetic bacteria, the chlorophyll is spread all along the body and is free to be used and used through the skin of the bacteria.
