2. Anoxygenic Photosynthesis This process of photosynthesis does not make use of oxygen
This process uses a series of electron transport reactions
This is used to synthesize ATP from PMF (proton motive force)
3. Anoxygenic Photosynthesis The diagram shows an example of electron flow in a purple bacterium
Some important electron transport proteins are Cytochrome bc1 and cytochrome c2
4. ATP Synthesis Photophosphorylation is the production of ATP during photosynthesis
This is similar to respiration since the membrane establishes a proton motive force
For purple bacteria, reducing power such as NADH must also be made so that CO2 can be fixated
This process requires reverse electron transport
5. ATP Synthesis and CO2 fixation
