D. respiration

Answer

A

Explanation

(a) Chromatophores are found in members of phototrophic bacteria. They contain bacteriochlorophyll pigments and carotenoids and take part in photosyntheesis. In purple bacteria, such as Rhodospirillum rubrum, the light-harvesting proteins are intrinsic to the chromatophore membranes. However, in green sulphur bacteria, they are arranged in specialised antenna complexes called chlorosomes.
