All plants, plant-like protists, and some bacteria go through photosynthesis
|
Detailed explanation-1: -They are a large and diverse group. Plant-like protists are autotrophs. This means that they produce their own food. They perform photosynthesis to produce sugar by using carbon dioxide and water, and the energy from sunlight, just like plants.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plants, algae, and a group of bacteria called cyanobacteria are the only organisms capable of performing photosynthesis (Figure 1). Because they use light to manufacture their own food, they are called photoautotrophs (literally, “self-feeders using light”).
Detailed explanation-3: -Plant-like protists are eukaryotic, photosynthetic, unicellular, or multicellular, possess pyrenoids, gametangia, and a flagellum. Examples of Plant-like protists include Chlamydomonas, diatoms, Laminaria, Coralline, Ulva, and Euglena.
