OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Photosynthesis by bacteria produced ____ as a waste product. a. glucose b. carbon dioxide c. oxygen d. all of these are produced by photosynthesis

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

I thought c at first, but now I am thinking about it when it said bacteria.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

in photosynthesis carbon-dioxide is used. So it is dfntly not the correct answer !

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

I know it wasn't that one.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

No it's okay...photosynthesis performed by bacteria like cyanobacteria is similar to that of plants.

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

And glucose is what is made to be used for energy, so that couldn't be it either.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

correct !

OpenStudy (abhisar):

So the correct answer will be ?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Oh, so oxygen is the correct answer! I just got confused when it mentioned bacteria.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

yeah it's the correct answer ! :)

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Thanks!

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Though the question is poorly worded ! There are some bacteria which perform non-oxygenic photosynthesis.

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Yeah, my school has a lot of that.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Just for ur knowledge there are some bacteria collectively called as sulfur bacteria performs non-oxygenic photosynthesis and do not use water as a substrate and thus do not produce oxygen.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

But still seeing ur options, oxygen is the only possible answer !

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Thanks, I was needing to know about that for some further assignments. :)

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

it is not poorly worded :) waste-product is the keyword

OpenStudy (abhisar):

That's what i am saying @nincompoop , oxygen is not produced by every bacteria.
