What are oxygenic photosynthesis, anoxygenic photosynthesis, and rhodopsin-based phototrophy Flashcards
oxygenic photosynthesis.
In plants, algae and cyanobacteria,
end of photosynthesis releases oxygen
photosystem II & I used
Anoxygenic photosynthesis
It is shown by purple bacteria, green sulfur and nonsulfur bacteria, heliobacteria and acidobacteria.
NO oxygen is released
Only one photsystem
Rhodopsin-Based Phototrophy
used by archaea,
without the use of chlorophyll or bacteriochlorophyll
use a bacteriorhodopsin
used in the eyes
Anoxygenic phototrophs have
bacteriochlorophylls, which are pigments that absorb light energy
pigments used in oxygenic phototrophy
Chlorophylls,
carotenoids,
phycobiliproteins
which photosystem does anoxygenic phototrophy have
Photosystem I
Can not have photo system II because it produces oxygen.
This has no oxygen
Rhodopsin-Based Phototrophy relies on what for light absorption
non-chlorophyll based pigment called bacteriorhodopsin
see name in the word.
what is bacteriorhodopsin exactly
pigment used to produce proton motiff force
it is a proton pump
Is there electron transport in rhodopsin phototrophy
No
ATP made from proton force of protons from inside cell go outside cell
What is similar about all three systems
They produce ATP
Proton motif force to make ATP.
The PMF is made differently by each one
prokaryotic organism such as the cyanobacteria does not contain membrane-bound organelles like the chloroplasts. So how do they perform photosynthesis
They have chlorophyll dispersed in the infoldings of the plasma membrane that can perform photosynthesis. Example: Cyanobacteria (blue green algae)
In normal plants, photosynthesis happens in two stages
Calvin cycle and light-dependent reactions in the chloroplast
cyanobacteria uses
oxygenic photosynthesis
All prokaryotic photosynthesizers are anoxygenic.
False
All eukaryotic photosynthesizers are oxygenic.
