Summary Introduction
To summarize:
The main steps in the process of photosynthesis by which cyanobacteria produce oxygen and use carbon dioxide to make organic compounds.
Concept introduction:
Cyanobacteria contain the chloroplasts and plastids which synthesize the ATP by the process of photosynthesis. The steps include the emission of the electron from the chlorophyll molecule which gets transported in the electron transport chain. This causes the movement of the hydrogen from the thylakoid membrane to the stroma leading to the synthesis of ATP. The oxygen is formed by the splitting of the water molecule. The process of photosynthesis uses the molecule of carbon dioxide.

Both Photosynthesis and respiration rely on electron transport. Although there are many differences, what do these electron transport chains have in common? In both, the electron donor (water in the case of photosynthesis, NADH in the case of respiration) is a strong reducing agent In both, the proteins which shuttle the electrons (Plastoquinone in photosynthesis, Ubiquinone in the case of respiration) are oxidized and reduced In both, electrons move spontaneously from high to low redox potential.
