PROKARYOTE VS EUKARYOTE PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Postby latvija05 » Wed Mar 18, 2009 3:46 am

What exactly are the differences and similarities between Eukaryotic Photosynthesis in Green Plants and Prokaryotic Photosynthetic Sulfur Bacteria???

Prokaryotes have infolds that act like thylakoids, but are not actually thylakoids. Maybe that will help.

Hi, I just know a little, I hope they will be useful :
The differeces are the source of
1. H+:Plants get H+ from H2O ,Sulphur Bacteria get H+ from the compound of Sulphur(H2S, H2SO4,...)
2. C:Plants get C from CO2, some Sulphur Bacteria get C from oganic substances.
3. Pigment:plants use Chlorophyl and carrotenoit, Sulphur Bacteria use another(sorry, I'm forgot)
4. Plants have thylakoids to proccess photosynthesis, but Bacteria do not have thylakoid, the photosynthesis proccess in cytoplasm.

The similars:
1. They use photon energy, and can't photosynthesis without light.
2. They need H+ and C for the proccess.
3. They need pigment.
