how many type of photosynthesis are there ?
Answers
Explanation:
There are two types of photosynthetic processes:
1)oxygenic photosynthesis
Oxygenic photosynthesis is a non-cyclic photosynthetic electron chain where the initial electron donor is water and, as a consequence, molecular oxygen is liberated as a byproduct
2) anoxygenic photosynthesis
Anoxygenic photosynthesis is a bacterial photosynthesis that occurs under anaerobic conditions, using the photosynthetic electron transport chain in a non–cyclic mode and reduced inorganic electron donors, such as hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen, or ferrous ion, as electron donors.
two types
There are two types of photosynthetic processes: oxygenic photosynthesis and anoxygenic photosynthesis.
Oxygenic photosynthesis
it is a non-cyclic photosynthetic electron chain where the initial electron donor is water and, as a consequence, molecular oxygen is liberated as a byproduct. The use of water as an electron donor requires a photosynthetic apparatus with two reaction centers.
Anoxygenic photosynthesis
it is the phototrophic process where light energy is captured and converted to ATP, without the production of oxygen; water is, therefore, not used as an electron donor.
