Summary Introduction

To determine: The comparison and similarity between oxygenic and anoxygenic phototrophy.

Introduction: Some microbes capture light energy and use it to generate ATP and some reducing power such as NADPH. The energy molecules, ATP, and reducing power are used for the fixation of carbon dioxide through a process known as photosynthesis. The photosynthesis is divided into two different reactions: light reaction and dark reactions. Phototrophy is defined as the use of light energy to perform cellular activities.
