Question

With what is chlorophyll associated in photosynthetic prokaryotic bacteria?

Answer 1

Although bacteria are prokaryotes and lack membrane-bound organelles like plastids, they are able to carry out the process of photosynthesis. This is because-

-They contain a pigment called bacteriochlorophyll.

-This bacteriochlorophyll is not a cell organelle but is a pigment found in the folds of the cell membranes also called vesicles.

Thus it can be rightly said that the chlorophyll in photosynthetic prokaryotic bacteria is associated with membranous vesicles but not with plastids as eukaryotic cells.

Hope this answer help u

Answer 2

Explanation:

The chlorophyll in photosynthetic prokaryotic bacteria is associated with membranous vesicles but not with plastids as in eukaryotic cells.
