- What cellular features and processes are similar in both photosynthesis and cellular respiration? Both processes are contained in organelles with single membranes, and both use a version of the cytochrome complex. Both processes are contained in organelles with double membranes, and neither use a version of the cytochrome complex. Both processes are contained in organelles with double membranes, and use a version of the cytochrome complex. Both processes are contained in organelles with single membranes, and neither use a version of the cytochrome complex.arrow_forwardWhy are chloroplasts not a component used by both plants and cyanobacteria to carry out photosynthesis?arrow_forwardIn 2010, a bew form of chlorophyll (chlorophyll f) was discovered in cyanobacteria assemblages of stromatolites growing in Shark Bay, Australia. Chlorophyll f has been isolated. and scientists are investigating the structure and function of this pigment. Based on your understanding of photosynthesis, how would you determine the wavelengths of light the pigment absorbs? How would you determine if this pigment plays a role in photosynthesis? (Hint: Think about the overall equation for photosynthesis.)arrow_forward
