Question
Chapter 22, Problem 32RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The statement, “Water is the only possible electron donor in photosynthesis,” is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Photosynthesis starts with heterotrophic bacteria that contain some form of chlorophyll, such as bacteriochlorophyll.
In bacteriochlorophyll, light energy, which is absorbed by the chlorophyll, gets trapped in the form of ATP and NADPH.
