Question
Chapter 11.11, Problem 6RIA
Summary Introduction
Phototrophy can be defined as the ability of a microorganism to capture light and use the captured light to synthesize ATP and make reducing power. Phototrophy can be classified into three types, oxygenic, anoxygenic, and rhodopsin-based phototrophy. The reducing power and the ATP work together to reduce and fix carbon dioxide by a process called photosynthesis.

The common name for species like Anabena is blue-green algae. This group of bacteria are capable of photosynthesizing. Do they contain chloroplasts? Explain.
Compare and contrast the tandem photosystems of cyanobacteria and photosynthetic eukaryotes with the single photosystems of purple and green bacteria.
In a classic experiment in photosynthesis performed in 1883 by the German botanist Thomas Engelmann, he surrounded a filament of algae with oxygen-requiring bacteria. He then exposed the algal strand to the visible-light spectrum along its length. In which wavelengths of light along the algal strand would you expect the bacteria to cluster. Explain.
