The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Bacterial Photosynthesis**: - Bacterial photosynthesis differs from plant photosynthesis. It primarily involves a simpler process known as cyclic phosphorylation. 2. **Identifying the Photosystem**: - In bacterial photosynthesis, only Photosystem I (PS1) is involved. This is distinct from plants, which utilize both Photosystem I and Photosystem II (PS2). 3. **Electron Donors and Acceptors**: - In bacterial photosynthesis, the electron donor is hydrogen sulfide (H2S), while the electron acceptor is NADP+, which gets reduced to NADPH. In contrast, plants use water (H2O) as the electron donor, releasing oxygen in the process. 4. **Location of Photosynthesis**: - The process of bacterial photosynthesis occurs in structures called chlorosomes or chromatophores, unlike plants, which perform photosynthesis in chloroplasts. 5. **Examples of Bacteria**: - An example of bacteria that perform photosynthesis is cyanobacteria, which synthesize their own food and energy through this process. 6. **Choosing the Correct Answer**: - Given the options, since only PS1 is involved in bacterial photosynthesis, the correct answer is option A (PS1 is present). The other options (PS2, both PS1 and PS2, none) are incorrect. **Final Answer**: The photosystem involved in bacterial photosynthesis is Photosystem I (PS1). ---
