<p>Yeah umm i need help.... i cant find any general differences between photosynthetic eukaryotes and photosynthetic prokaryotes, i dont need to know the differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes but i need to know the difference between PHOTOSYNTHETIC eukaryotes and prokaryotes... if somebody could tell me some or give me a website about this it would be greatly appreciated</p>
<p>Number one diff in proks/euks regarding PS is that in proks it does not happen in a chloroplast, the cholropyll just sorta floats around. Isn't there a theory that chloroplasts used to be symbiotic proks that just lived inside another cell?</p>
<p>Ok here is the differences i know.... prokaryotes lack chloroplasts... plasma membranes are site of photosynthesis in prokaryotes... and im thinking that b/c of the difference in size there must be some difference in the rate of photosynthesis but im not sure, can someone confirm that... I really dont think i can write much with the stuff that i have.. more would be appreciated</p>
<p>It would help if you gave us the exact topic you're writing the essay on</p>
<p>...Indicate ways in which a photosynthetic prokaryotic cell would differ from a photosynthetic eukaryotic cell</p>
<p>couple quick things:</p>
<p>some bacteria are going to use different chemicals to get electrons than plants, such as hydrogen sulfide</p>
<p>some use different pigments to absorb light energy such as phycocyinin or something like that I think</p>
<p>thats all I can think of right now.</p>
<p>thanks much, i think i can stretch this out with random facts and bs and get a decent grade</p>
<p>^^^ that is true skill</p>
