Detailed explanation-1: -Eukaryotic autotrophs, such as plants and algae, have organelles called chloroplasts in which photosynthesis takes place, and starch accumulates. In prokaryotes, such as cyanobacteria, the process is less localized and occurs within folded membranes, extensions of the plasma membrane, and in the cytoplasm.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cyanobacteria are aquatic and photosynthetic, that is, they live in the water, and can manufacture their own food. Because they are bacteria, they are quite small and usually unicellular, though they often grow in colonies large enough to see.
Detailed explanation-3: -In cyanobacteria, the thylakoid membrane is the only site of photosynthesis and also the main site of respiratory electron transport in cells (Mullineaux, 2014).
