Plant Kingdom

Wired Faculty App

Which one of the following categories of organisms do not evolve oxygen during photosynthesis

  • Red algae

  • Photosynthetic bacteria

  • C4 plants with Kranz anatomy

  • Blue green algae

Solution

B.

Photosynthetic bacteria

Anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria consume carbon dioxide but do not release oxygen. These include Green and Purple bacteria as well as Filamentous Anoxygenic Phototrophs (FAPs), Phototrophic Acidobacteria, and Phototrophic Heliobacteria.

Instead of using water to photosynthesize, like plants and cyanobacteria, purple sulfur bacteria use hydrogen sulfide as their reducing agent, which is why they give off sulfur rather than oxygen.
