Q

What is photosynthesis?

A
  • Process used by plants and organisms
  • convert light energy (normally from the sun)
  • convert into chemical energy -> release later to fuel organism activities

Q

Which organisms photosynthesize?

A
  • plants
  • eukaryotic
  • multicellular

Some protists e.g. algae

  • mostly unicellular
  • eukaryotic

Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae)

  • Prokaryotes/unicellular
  • most abundant
  • oldest
  • closest relative to chloroplasts of higher plants
